Appeasing Terrorists
By Felicia Benamon, The Conservative Monitor

I think Americans need to be reminded of who their enemy is. Why do we placate terrorists? Or terror suspects? We seem to want to be so accommodating when all they want is to annihilate us, enslave us, and force hardcore Islamic beliefs on us. Remember 911 hero Todd Beamer and crew (The Heroes of Flight 93 )? They did not try to "negotiate" or sweet-talk the 911 hijackers. Todd Beamer's words were "Let's Roll", in other words, let's kick some butt!!
The 911 Memorial design in NY was slated to lean political correct, all designed to bring "understanding" or "healing" to the 911 tragedy. Thank goodness there were some outraged Americans who saw it offensive to water down the memorial, not giving the 911 victims the fitting tribute they deserve ( N.Y. Gov. George Pataki Drops Museum From WTC Memorial Site ) , ( Take Back the Memorial Petition & Tribute ). The story of that fateful day should be told as it was...America was attacked by vicious, evil people who hated everything this country stands for. A syrupy 911 Memorial?! What would Todd Beamer think of that?! It's atrocious considering what many Americans have suffered through during the war on terror.
Recently, CBS's 60 Minutes ran a story of an ex-hostage Roy Hallums who was rescued by American forces in Iraq from terrorists ( CBS News | The Hostage | September 26, 2005 09:00:04 ). They treated Mr. Hallums horribly. He was beaten and made to sit in a cage for so long... he was in captivity for 10 months! The terror suspects at Guantanamo Bay Cuba received better treatment! High quality meals, prayer mats, etc. Do you think Roy was given the option of having reading material, perhaps the Bible, in captivity?? No way! I am surprised he made it ...it's a miracle he's alive!
