The 2000s found me operating around the world, dutifully contributing to GWoT. So determined to kill the enemy, I received my first Master’s degree in Islamic studies with an emphasis on Shi’a Islam. I wanted to understand my enemy better so that killing my enemy was easier. Then, as the wars continued on, the mood changed. Eventually, it became obvious to me that Muslims may or may not have perpetrated 9/11, but the real bad guys were in Washington, DC, not Mecca.

War is when your government tells you who the enemy is. Revolution is when you figure it out for yourself.

We all need to wake up…to bad the other half of our nation is communists!!!What has to be done …should of been done in 2000…..keep pushing at your own risk….??
Preach! So true. Govt is an institution of force. Over the years, that force has been, increasingly, aimed at and brought to bear against the citizens. The longer we permit the cancer to grow and metastasize through our society and culture, the more painful and difficult the effort to carve it out to restore the health of our society. I’m sure even those of us who narrowly understand the need for revival will, eventually, shudder when we see the actual cost of this change.
This article is worth a read and consideration.
