The Writing On the Wall
The men's room wall, that it.
The past week we've been in Moab, Utah taking a little vacation. That in itself is another story, which I'll probably never post here, for various reasons. Moab is somthing like another city in Utah, Park City. Both are recreation destinations each shares a considerable liberal attitude, which I oftimes don't understand, and more frequently don't want to both trying to understand. They're world view is different from mine, and it's probably better that way.
So at one point during the week I found occasion to use the men's room in one of the restaurants we were eating in. Glancing around I noticed the testostorone-charged sophomoric expressions that I thought dropped out of fashion when someone graduated from high school. Well I was wrong.
One bit of writing caught my eye. It said, "Victary [sic] to the Iraqie [sic] resistance! Troops out now!" Of course, as with all written material of this ilk, it was undated and unsigned, making it impossible to determine of this was of recent vintage, or dated back to the ground war in Iraq.
Whoever the MORON was who wrote this, I hope you are ashamed of yourself. This "Iraqi (please note the correct spelling) resistance" is nothing more than armed hoodlums, thugs, and anarchists who want nothing more than to have things their way. These well-armed playground bullies want to keep girls and women from receiving an education so that they can continue to exploit them. They destroy schools and hospitals and religious buildings or turn them into ammo dumps, placing at risk the people there who use them for their intended purpose. The kill other Muslims simply because they belive in a different line of succession than they do. They are intolerant, ignorant, brutal savages who have no place in the 21st century. Their pre-medieval mindset will never allow them to understand, tolerate, or accept anything that is different from what they think is right. They follow the dictates of their own conscience, and allow no others the same privilege.
As far as the "troops out now" sentiment goes, I'd love nothing better to see them home. But anyone who believe this to be possible has no understanding of the circumstances, and no comprehension of what's involved in transitioning to a peacetime, post-war government. The Allied occupation of Japan lasted for seven years, and that was with a stable populace and government that was seriously interested in rebuilding its economy and infrastructure. That's not the case in Iraq.
