Remembering
The Truth
by Shawn

Confronting
terror and the truth with the United Nations.
The majority
of Americans, and most certainly our American men and women
serving
in Iraq and Afghanistan; understand the reason that we are involved in the
perpetual fight of good verses evil. As our faithful allies in democracy,
the citizens of Israel know and remember this truth as well.
During the events of the past several years, we have seen
the gnashing of teeth and rattling of sabers with dictators,
despots and desperate regimes intent
on seizing their power and corrupt will over millions of their captive citizens.

Times haven’t
changed much since World War Two. As with Hitler, Stalin and
Mussolini, we are reminded of the ever-present
dangers that are prevalent to Freedom and Liberty today.
In order to defeat evil, we must first confront and acknowledge
it for what it is. There can be no coddling; conforming or
excusing the behavior of terrorist groups who behead and murder
innocent
civilians in the name of “religion.”
Somehow, many in the current International communities, and
leadership positions, have ignored and excused who the real
threat and enemy
is.
It was United Nations Secretary General Koffi Annan who said
alarmingly, that Hezbollah had “allegedly” fired
rockets into Northern Israel and kidnapped Israeli Soldiers.
And we can’t forget Koffi Annan’s pronounced rush
to judgment that “Israel had deliberately bombed” a
U.N. Beirut outpost, which killed four U.N. Observers.
The transparent disregard for the citizens and the nation of
Israel by the head of the United Nations; is deeply disturbing
and indicative of the hatred of Israel by many the United Nations
members.
It is indicative of the corruption and rotting foundations
of an organization that began with so much potential. It is
a result
of an institution influenced by terrorist sympathizers, money
hungry opportunists, and profiteers of human trafficking. Its
hatred of Israel is evident.
During my time as a Patrol leader and Airborne Paratrooper
with the U.S. Army in Fulda West Germany, tensions were high.
As Soldiers,
we were continually on guard for Russian attacks across a wide
area of Eastern Germany known as the “Fulda Gap.”
In 1984, President Reagan served as our Commander in Chief
and acknowledged the truth that communism and terrorism were
Freedoms
greatest enemies. We knew that Gorbachov, Ortega, Castro, and
Gaddafi, posed the greatest threats. And today, President Bush
has chosen to take this stand as well and confront the enemies
of today and of tomorrow.
We see the same threat today, only dressed in different Uniforms,
and espousing the same hatred. Their actions are driven by
desperation and a need to cling to power at the expense of
the people. From
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Kim Jong-IL, to Osama Bin Laden and
Hugo Chavez, we are all confronted by a multi- pronged assault
of
Freedom and Liberty on many shores.
And we know when good confronts evil, light always exposes
the darkness and good will always defeat evil.
I became reminded of the dangers of the terrorist organization
called Hezbollah‚ during
my visit to Metullah Israel, in 1998. I observed first hand the Golan, Tel Aviv,
Jerusalem, and the real dangers and threats directed daily by the terrorist’s
intent on destroying Israel.
The events during the last several months have shown us the remarkable patience
and restraint of Israel, as they have been bombarded with hundreds of daily
rocket attacks upon their civilian population. With no condemnation by the
United Nations
on Hezbollah’s past actions, Israel had no other choice but to rise and
defend itself against the scourge of terror.
There is no other cure for terror, than to cut out the root and cause of cancer
that disfigures, and destroys the lives of so many.
As the United States, her Allies and Israel remembers who the enemy is, I am
confident that we will rise to each others support. We remember the truth and
will defend together all that is precious about the liberties that we enjoy. CRO
