Chapter 1 - what are we doing
Chapter 1 - what are we doing
What are we doing!
Well, aren’t you going to answer me!
Do you even know the answer to why?
We are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, why even Somalia.
Maybe Pakistan or even Iran will be next, will we ever get out?
Are we so stupid as to try fighting in all these places?
Their government was their problem, we made it ours
Democracy is great, all must have it
The great Democratic crusade has begun
It leaves a sour, vinegary, taste in mouth to think of what we do
But God is one OUR side!
Not theirs, or is he?
Their God is with them isn’t he?
Which faith is stronger?
We shall soon see.
Our allies, those few friendly nations, even told us not to attack but we knew better
Well there we are, just like a hated door to door salesman
They don’t feel like buying what we’re selling.
They don’t want our gift, or even care about it.
But our foot is in the door, we’re gonna force it on them.
Every day we lose more of that which we try to sell to them
Can’t you hear it?
Our great freedom is being squashed
Don’t fly there, or here, don’t take liquids on a plane
Don’t speak ill of the country.
Don’t donate to that country, they are evil
They support the terrorists
Look at all of our enemies, so content,
They have us fight where they want
Get the terrorists now; don’t think of our military position
We’re spread thin, weakened,
incapable of resisting a determined assault.
We’re drained, slowly being bled to death.
Where does the money come from?
It just appears to help us fight all of many our “enemies”
Those whom aren’t with us are with the enemy
Our way or the highway
How long can this go on for?
We have few allies now, the hated and vile “enemy” is everywhere,
And don’t offend those who are Arab.
Be polite, but suspect them all.
Be politically correct, any offense and you are going to be in trouble.
But still, is it acutely helping us?
Be careful now, and watch what you say,
but you can say anything you want… as long as you don’t make anyone unhappy
