I'm awake. Christ, it's like the Matrix. And I took the pill.

10,000 murders, or a 100,000, and some will still say "But why do they hate us?"

This country has slept for so long and so hard it will take the power of the atom to awaken the Sleeping Giant. The majority still do not realize that we are in WW3. Sigh.

As we wait for our murderous foe to drop the other shoe, one wonders who will be delegated to serve on the cleanup committee. Some 40,000 Guardsmen who are normally present on American soil to attend to national emergencies are now deployed in Iraq, with additional thousands currently training to join them there later this year.

Before 9/11 there where prophets. They were not listened to. They never are. As the Islamist were suprised by the strength of the aministration's actions, so will the domestic fools be suprised at what comes for them when the children are killed. There will not be many but they will be sure and thorough.

In June 2002, Fox News reported the following:

"An ominous new threat against the U.S. appears on a Web site and claims to be from an Al Qaeda spokesman.

"It says the U.S. has killed thousands of people in Iraq, the Palestinian territories, Afghanistan, and other places.

"And so, it reads: 'We have the right to kill four million Americans, including one million children,' and it says, 'we have the right to fight them by chemical and biological weapons so they catch the fatal and unusual diseases Muslims have caught due to U.S. chemical and biological weapons.'"

I'm awake.

A voice crying out in the wilderness. Arise, o' sleeper! Shed the chains of delusion that you have so willingly wrapped yourself in and send 10,000 volts of awareness through your slumbering consciousness. Fight or flight? Where can you flee? Then fight it must be!

Just one city? Think as they do. There were multiple planes. Multiple cities and much praise to The Most Munificent.

I could wish you wouldn't use such lurid language, Gerard. It doesn't waken the drowsy; it may actually increase their resistance to waking.

I used to frequent a poetry website where lame lefties abounded. On the night of 9/11, I wrote: "Now we see the true legacy of Bill Clinton." A firestorm of protest and denunciation broke out on the website. I rarely had spoken with candor of anything political among those people. Believe me, they did not share any solidarity with America that night. So I think your notion that the nation was briefly awake may overstate the case, and I am not sure the transnational dream would die with New York or Washington. The left will say that Bush brought 'tragedy' upon us.

Even more than the concealed nuke I fear a plague bred up by mad nihilists who would stop at nothing, even murdering all humankind, for the glory of Allah. I'm getting old, and I probably won't live to see it, but I think this thing may happen before much longer, unless the Islamists are thoroughly defeated. What Bush is doing in Iraq may work; however he must remain in office to see it through.

I hope that the rest of "Sacrifice and Reckoning" will be available soon. Part one is outstanding.
