A dear friend sent me this the other day and I just want to share it with you guys.

“Never Again.”

Since the end of WWII many of our world have properly focused on the crimes committed during that great war and said “never again.” Only recently has a museum opened on our national mall to remember those slaughtered by the Germans of WW II simply for being of the wrong skin color or religion. Books, film and media have frozen those events forever. Indeed our foreign policy in the Middle East is based on attempting to “balance” the evils of those crimes and provide a homeland to those who survived of the Jewish faith.

Yet, strangely, we are on the cusp of witnessing the second holocaust within the lifetime of many. Only this time we are responsible; not them.

Yesterday, those who we have come to know as criminals of Germany’s power elite swept cities, towns and villages in search of those who are different only to move them out of sight and in a place where they could be conveniently killed and forgotten.

Today we take a war to a foreign place so that we can “attract those who hate us.” We beat innocents in the prisons of Gitmo to lure criminals. We lie to ourselves as to why we are there, we plot and scheme for any reason so that we can herd as many as possible into a killing field. Our president boasts that we will take the war to “them”. That killing field has always been Iran. Pat Robertson foretold the future during our March invasion and “shock and awe” as he repeatedly called “Iraq” – “Iran”. It was just the beginning

Our leaders now say it is irresponsible to ignore the nuclear option. It is not about oil. It is not about greed. It is about us finding a way to kill as many of those who are different as we can while the country turns a blind eye. We will use bombs to finish our victims – that way we don’t have to move the bodies into stacks.

God bless our soldiers and generals for their service. I pray that we can look into each others eyes when the numbers of dead are finally counted. Will it take 1 million, 6 million, 10 million or more for us to say “never again”, again?
