AP: Today brought another car bomb in Jackson Tennessee near a police station killing 34 officers and 20 civilians nearby. This is 97th car bomb since 9-11.
In the last three years our country has had to endure the murder of 172 of our schoolchildren in 12 different schools across this nation by Islamic fundalmentalist homicide bombers. 943 church and synagogue members have been victims of homicide bombers as well. Our souls are crushed, our tears neverending.
There are protests daily outside the White House. People carrying signs saying "Bush, why didn't you protect us???" As President Bush has explained many times, he felt if the Patriot Act had passed then we would have better intelligence and could have prevented some of these horrible bombings. But the people aren't buying it.
The closing of Guantanamo is another factor the President cites. He insists that the ones we knew in this country that were dangerous should have been locked up and interrogated. He also says that the Homeland Security department he pushed, but was dismissed as not necessary, would have prevented these tragedies. But his words ring hollow. His "this might have worked" scenario's do not help us or comfort us as we bury our children.
There is a feeling of deep hatred for our President. He should have done more. After Afghanistan he took the easy road and said that we had killed those responsible for 9-11. That Osama was probably dead. He bask in the glory of that victory and easily won re-election.
Then hell descended upon us.
Our military is consumed now with border protection and paroling our streets. But it is almost impossible to circumvent these monsters who casually walk into our schools, churches, and police stations and blow themselves up.
There is talk now of a military invasion in the Middle East, but we have enough on our hands here at home. No one feels safe. We are prisoners in our own homes. Parents are scared to send their children to school.
How could this have happened?
There must have been a way to protect us. We are lost in fear now and the ending of it seems no where in sight.
