The Iran Coercion Affair

The coercion by the Iranian government has begun in earnest. The British
female sailor, Faye Turney, taken hostage with 14 comrades, has purportedly
released a third letter. The letter released by the Iranian embassy claims Turney has been "sacrificed" to the policies of the US and UK governments. The letter also claimed that Turney has been treated well, unlike the prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. The letter further stated, "“It is now time to ask our government to make a change to its oppressive behavior” toward others.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair denounced the captivity of his sailors saying, "I don’t know why the Iranian regime keeps doing this, all it does it heightens people’s sense of disgust. Captured personnel being paraded and manipulated in this way, it doesn’t fool anyone”.

Prime Minister Blair is not 100% right; sad to say that some people are wholly sucked in by this propaganda. Left wing extremists and America haters alike hang on the Iranian governments every word and are more than willing to accuse our government of wrong doing.

Each day as the Iranian crisis grows on account of their new and dumbfounded statements to the international community people here in America continue to step up their hate mongering along with them. For example, Rosie O'Donnell has succeeded in trumping her last idiotic comments. O'Donnell stated that the British sailors were purposely placed in Iranian waters by the British government so they would be "arrested". Why would they do this you ask? According to O'Donnell, so the UK and US governments could justifiably provoke a new war with Iran.

This is the same lady who said on nationally televised cable television that the only way the twin towers could have imploded in that fashion is if they were wired with explosives. Bottom line, she thinks the US government purposely brought down the towers to provoke war with Al- Queda. Correct me if I am wrong but Osama Bin Laden has admitted to the attack, we have captured combatants involved in the attack and we have mounds of evidence, including video documenting the attacks, that this was indeed an un-provoked attack on America.

Where will the lunacy stop? Although hopeful, I don't believe it will ever stop. Why American people look for reasons to hate America is beyond me. For once I am at a loss for words. I cannot provide a reason for this treasonous activity, but I can support actions taken against enemies of the United States. Iran must be delt with swiftly and certainly. The US must allow the UK to take the lead and we must wholly support their actions as they have done ours. O'Donnell must be asked to leave The View and ABC and America must censor her.

The time of letting actions against America slide must end. We must stand for America and support our government. Does anyone really think our government can do anything without the support of it's people? We have set ourselves up for failure. What ever happened to our selfless attitude that saw us through the dark days of WWII? There's a reason we are not referred to as the greatest generation.
