The population of a country once unified by a decision to retaliate against terrorists now stands divided. People are divided over ideals and after spending billions of dollars on a conflict which has lasted a decade. But along with the strife which developed between Americans that division has cost us something else. The enemy now sees that America has lost the pride in its power and now the enemy has taken advantage of that of loss of pride and they no longer fear we will strike into their homeland..
A stir began that fateful day when those buildings fell in New York and now has spread to the corners of the world. Today people of all walks of life watch the Middle East but their eyes are on the US and they wonder. They wonder why a nation once so great as America now stands hardly more than a pale imitation of it's former greatness. America is standing with its head bowed as if in shame while nations of terror hold them at bay with only words, words of threats. The world and this nation has embarked on a journey of profound importance and it will hold lasting consequence. Mankind holds the potential for world destruction through nuclear ability and should those weapons which so many nations have at their disposal be used then that will be the last war of mankind. With those thoughts in mind, more so now than at any other time in our history man needs to turn his heart to God and pray, and do so fervently.
