I’ll Wait For The Sequel

I say with pride that I have never seen the movie Titanic. It is at present the highest grossing film of all times with a $600,000,000 plus gross in the US alone. I remember going to the movies during the time it was released and hearing the buzz about how many times people had seem it. I was not interested in the film and went to see Krippendorf’s Tribe with Richard Dreyfuss and Jenna Elfman. It was surprisingly good although totally overshadowed by the monolith that was Titanic. But this is not a movie review. I just have had no interest in seeing the movie. I do tell people that I will rent it when the sequel comes out. Well, there is a movie Raise The Titanic but it came out in 1980 so it would technically be a prequel.

Another thing I have never seen is the World Trade Towers being hit and falling down. I know it happened but every time the media played those disturbing scenes, I changed the channel or just turned it off. With the movie about the 9/11 terrorist attacks debuting last weekend, it seemed timely to say that I will not be seeing the movie either. I am not one of these ride the fence Americans that one minute want to stop further attacks on innocent Americans and the next minute are screaming for us to pull back to become isolationist hermits. I know what must be done to stop this. History has shown the way to putting an end to terrorist governments and terrorist groups. Eradication! There is other way to silence the “would be” murders of innocent people.

I am still dumb founded that for several months after America was attacked, our nation found a way to get together as one nation. We had a clear direction as to what needed to be done to heal our great country. With the exception of Hollywood and the music community getting together to further expose themselves, we saw people genuinely helping one another. Now as the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, we have a nation of people that no longer understand the long and difficult path our nation is on. We have become a nation of Chamberlains, forgetting the pain of a few scant years ago in an attempt to placate the insane; wanting to forego the short term pain in hopes that it will go away in the long run.

Last week proved that the short term pain is only a glimpse of our future if we do not ferret out and destroy the rot that is trying to invade our way of life. So for those who are protesting the actions of our current President, go back and read what happened to Great Britain before, during and after WWII. See what a difference a strong leader a clear direction can do when given the chance to lead and not be continuously second guessed. Let’s hope I do not have to wait for the sequel.
