The Big Gun! The real weapon of mass destruction...

The Big Gun! The real weapon of mass destruction... Man, oh man, what is it with men that makes him size up his weapon and want to conquer the world and be the last man standing? Motion picture promotions and marketing, the ethics of television reporting and the pollution of political agendas have warped the realities of future generations. America's children are stripped of core values due to mass disagreement among nations, among societies and communities.

Westerns, war movies, gangster movies, television shows and everything that is "main stream" has customized the principle of the good and bad. The protagonist always emerges the hero that takes the lives of the antagonist to save the "innocent few." These decades of picture painting and portrayals of a good versus evil have been the bases of every artistic expression for the past two centuries. It's made good men proud to fight for their country and community while bad men accept their fate and die with 15 minutes of fame on television networks. The irony is that as the program reports, the movie portrays. The mentality is mocked to favor the man with the biggest gun and not necessarily the one of higher moral character.

A great metaphor of this premise is drawn the film Batman Forever, starring Christian Bale and the late academy award winner for best supporting actor Heath Ledger. Ledger in his portrayal of Joker staged a set up to teach his highly favored protagonist "The Batman" (Christian Bale) that the corruption of society is purely circumstantial and all the enforce the laws of the land are hypocritically driven to gain power and not to save people's lives. I'll use the same premise to prove my point! The Bush Administration headed by President George W. Bush and Dick Cheney used this good and against evil ploy to fight "the terrorist." The people backed them up and supported their endeavors until they were exposed as liars. The lies turned the people mind and the same people who were praised as heroes were condemned for being war criminals. The administration proclaimed that we are fighting a "never-ending war against terrorism."

What does a never-ending war on terrorism really mean? Let's break this down!

Never-ending: This can mean nothing less than whatever is envisioned has no conception of ending not for me and not for anybody who comes after me.

War: (by popular definition) a conflict carried on by force of arms, as between nations or between parties within a nation; warfare, as by land, sea, or air.

(Against) Terrorism: a state of fear-- The use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.

The question is who administered fear in first it's own people and now in every other country? Who administered fear in Iraq and are now using these refined tactics of manipulating the media, terrorizing suspects (Guantanamo Bay) and the promotion of violence in Hollywood and film making? These are tough questions, and seemingly unpatriotic ones. However, I'm not the minister of fear, but of reality and truth. I ask these tough questions because I've concluded that to have a never-ending war on terror would mean to commit a catastrophic form of genocide. I'm not against the annihilation of someone who's predominate belief is to doom the "infidel" to a certain death, which is the same like fate. I am a firm believer is self defense and protecting your homeland, but to use the same tactics on your people as you do the enemy is the greater "evil." I think that what I've learned Al-Queda poses a serious threat because they suppose a threat to me based on my allegiance and belief in Jesus Christ. I have the American and human right to believe in what I want to believe in as long as I don't force my belief on you to your detriment and vice versa.

The American people think that the man with the bigger gun will prevail. We have the biggest gun! Some say the biggest gun is the atomic bomb. I say that the biggest gun is our secrets! Who can keep secrets without good principles, integrity and core values? Who can have such values while subjecting their children (their people) to lies and manipulation? By any means, peace should be the initiative, and if all means have been exhausted and war is still knocking on America's door, then not only should America show that it has the bigger gun, but the bigger gun must be used! If that gun must be used, then let it be used in truth with all eyes open and all hearts knowing that there wasn't any other choice. The lies must stop!
