Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not
started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11,
2001?
Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally
murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our
nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three
thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing
death that day, or didn't they? And I'm supposed to care that a copy of
the Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it
or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring
when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all
those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the
fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere
possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia. I'll care when these
thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head
while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat. I'll care when
the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men
instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll
care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of
nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide
bombs. I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their
First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law
instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. In the
meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi
terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have
been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest
assured: I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not
to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:
I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,
and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is
complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely
believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and
other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Cracked Corn and -you fucking guessed
it- I don't care!!

difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' --
