Today is the anniversary of one of the worst war crimes in human history. Twenty-one years ago today the forces of Saddam Hussein used weapons of mass destruction to annihilate over five thousand civilians in the Kurdish city of Halabja.
This was part of the genocidal Anfal Campaign, named after a Surah in the Koran. This was Saddam's final solution to his Kurdish problem.
We must never forget. This is why we are at war. This is why we must win. This is why we will win.

America Must Say Thank You to Lincoln
With all of the talk about Obama being the next Abraham Lincoln, maybe we should take a moment and say thank you to the actual Lincoln.
Our 16th President preserved the Union, defeated the Confederacy, and freed the slaves. He did this while having problems at home, a child dying, and many incompetent generals. And he also only got 39% of the popular vote in 1860. And they call Bush an illegitimate President?
And truthfully, Bush has more in common with Lincoln than Obama might ever. Bush and Lincoln "started" a war that was "unnecessary" and "unwinnable." In both cases they "wasted money" for people considered less worthy than "real Americans." They both freed millions from oppression. Both were incredibly hated and misunderstood. Both were considered dumb country boys trying to tell us all what to do. Both put their principles before politics.
So thank you Mr. Lincoln.
And thank you Mr. Bush.

Pearl Harbor Will Not be Forgotten
Today, the 67th Anniversary of the carnage of Pearl Harbor is still pertinent to today. With the aftermath of the September 11th atrocities, we cannot forget that the forces of aggression are still out there. They're still looking to fight the innocent and take down the defenders of freedom.
Today we are fighting another form of evil. They are willing to drop nerve gas on children and fly planes into buildings. These animals must be stopped.
We will never forget.

Happy Six Months, Jumping in Pools
It was six months ago on the 21st that I put up my first post on this blog, named after a time in high school when I jumped into a freezing pool on a bet. Well, we've grown a bit and hope to grow a little more.
Best wishes.
