Remind me that FaceBook clings to your hands and won’t let go if you have a “smart” phone, but is full of generation X,Y and Z-ers, people too involved with anything and everything\u00a0except<\/em><\/strong><\/span> realitiy, history,or logic- to pay alot of attention to anything but his or her navel.\u00a0Yet I had a really good ‘rant’ going and I didn’t want to waste it. Here is or was my point: the “War” in the Middle East, in which our troops have been involved\u00a0since Bush 43’s Administration,\u00a0has really been going on for thousands of years. But what all these “sit- ins” (or what ever they call it these days) &\u00a0these purposeful protesters are missing, as yet again\u00a0they take over yet another building is:\u00a0This war\u00a0is about too many people (an ever growing population) fighting over Terrorism,Territory, Power,and Supremacy, to say nothing of natural resources.\u00a0But first and foremost, our Allies<\/strong><\/span>, although I am betting that some of the these Facebookers,\u00a0the younger crew, are not even aware of what that means (and these days the status of\u00a0who\u00a0are the\u00a0USA\u00a0Allies?<\/strong> is a complex issue);\u00a0but many of these Countries\u00a0are yet again fighting for their very lives and homes, and we (the USA)\u00a0are obligated to help them do that in some form. Afghanistan, Egypt,Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iraq,and Jordon\u00a0are among our Allies: are they not? ‘Search that, I did, and what I discovered was different than what I had though.<\/p>\n

Yes, this war we are helping to fight\u00a0has been going on for thousands of years in that same\u00a0part of the World.\u00a0Yet now,\u00a0we hope and pray. that our presence there, along with our advanced technological weaponry and our truly finely trained soldiers might effect that area of Planet Earth\u00a0in a way that the last couple of thousands of years\u00a0could not do.<\/p>\n

WWII had\u00a0clearly defined\u00a0enemies: the\u00a0German Nazis and the Japanese.That it did not last longer than it did was due to the tenacity and the\u00a0“sheer-D” guts of our American Troops and our Allies, and the deterrents provided by\u00a0 a couple of Humongous Bombs in Japan.You may think of this as a cliche, however our true enemies in both of these long lasting Wars have been the same: Terror and Tyranny<\/span>, and how do we stop those.<\/p>\n

Please note that many of my best friends are young, street smart, and self-educated and\/or curious as to History and Governmental issues. That’s a lot different than the group I inadvertainly described in the first of this blog.\u00a0Also, as I<\/strong> have become somewhat of a\u00a0“Facebook addict”, that is prof that many users of Facebook certainly are not young.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
