Our latest product is a “Kill List”.
Unless you have been aboard Venus transiting across the sun the past week, you probably have heard of the “kill list”. This is a list of people our Nobel Peace Prize winner president approves to be killed weekly via drones. He is the jury, the judge, and the executioner.
After bombing a certain target, the president does not stop there. Rather he authorizes the bombings of the rescuers whom ever they happened to be. He even authorizes the bombings of funerals!
Unless these drones are firing M & M’s, a significant number of civilians must have been killed. Independent sources have borne this obvious conclusion out.
However, since he cares about innocent people being killed, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and self-proclaimed devoted Christian has come up with an ingenious way to prevent killing civilians. He redefines what a civilian means: Any male of combatant age near a strike zone; never mind rescuers or funerals!
The news outlets have been overwhelmingly praising Obama’s effort since a New York times article exposed it last week.
I am not offering here a political critique of the drones attacks on civilians. I am just wondering whether we have our eyes open wide enough to look within. Are we any better than those we are killing in this manner? Bin Laden and his network of terror did not graduate from Al-Azhar, Al-Najaf, or Qom, the elite Islamic theological schools. He graduated from Madrasas in caves and remote camps. He and his organization are not main stream. Far from it, they are theological pariahs.
By contrast, our Nobel Peace Prize winner president, went to Harvard; Bush went to Yale (and they’re both devoted Christians!). Our elites that have been waging this war are the products of our elite institutions, secular and otherwise. And we, the people, have been complicit and silent at best, if not flat-out cheering them on.
What does approving of killing civilian rescuers and bombing funerals say about our own values and principles? Our soul and identity? Our faith? Our culture and set of beliefs?
If you are one of those individuals who nurtures a conscience, I wish you luck wrestling with your morality before you cast a vote this coming november.
Our conscience really needs to be shaken to the core.
