Message to Islamic extremists

Tonight, while the hot water flowed and the walls reverberated with the slightly off tones of my best shower singing voice, a lonely thought hit. I say lonely because it has been awhile since I thought outside my own little world in a while. I was singing the “Angry American” a patriotic ditty by Mr. Toby Keith. The phrase that generated the thought was: “ this nation that I love has fallen under attack, a mighty sucker punch came flying in from some where in the back, but soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye, man we lit up your world like the Forth of July!”
The thought was “They just don’t get it!” let me elaborate. My point is the Islamic extremists just don’t get it. We are not like anyone else in the world. We are Americans! A mixed breed of people from every culture in the world, but with a different mind set than any. You see unlike the Spanish people or French or any one else, we are the most inspired and determined people in the world. We will not quit! We will not just lie down and take it! We will not give up without a fight. Check your history Osama.
If you really want us out of your holy land, you are going about it all wrong. The governments of two countries have already been toppled. Al-Qaeda’s back has been broken, its leaders captured and thousands of insurgents lay dead. Free elections will take place in Iraq, just as they did in Afghanistan, and you can’t stop it. You have not America to blame, but only yourselves. You brought us there, by attacking on 9-ll.
Once again the “sleeping giant” has been awoken.
If you had left us alone, these things would not have taken place. We would still be minding our own business here in America. But noooo … you did it and now we’re over there doing our thing and spreading freedom. Your way of life will never be the same! And furthermore if your insurgents and your suicide bombers continue to attempt to disrupt our efforts, we will never leave, we will topple more governments and we will eventually free the whole Middle East. Because, (now listen closely) We don’t quit! We have resolve. We are America. You started this and we’re going to finish it!
The news is pouring in that more Iraqis than expected voted. Even though they were threatened, even though your suicide bombers blew up polling sites, even the fear of death didn’t stop them and it won’t stop us.
So if you really want us gone, if you really want to continue to exist, you will stop the killing, stop the cowardly tactics. But then again you are “extremists”, and peaceful coexistence is not in your nature so as the song goes “we’ll put a boot in your ass, it’s the American way”.
