film versus phrase

The president walks before the microphone  Good evening. Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who’s responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. That was part of the speech given by the President on the night of May 1st 2011. The country was of course very glad an end had come to the man whose deeds had brought such sadness and anger to a nation. Now perhaps the nation would go forward knowing we had recovered some of the dignity lost in the felling of those two towers.

Then the anniversary of another 9-11 comes about, but in the middle east this time, and another storm begins to erupt and our Embassies come under attack. This will again bring death to American civilians, riots will spread across their countries and our nation simply stands not knowing which direction to go, not knowing what action to take, and not knowing what message must be sent. The pundits rationalize the attacks with stories of films and Muhammad and how we need to repent. They say that maker of such trash brings heartache to all of us here in the US. Please forgive us we know how much it offends you all. But seems those plea went unanswered except to tell us, "screw you all while we show you some of our revenge". Keep begging America while we still kill and burn. It seems as if America just will not learn that strength is what they understand.

The president has been busy trying to stay in the white house, he seems to like it there. Has all the amenities even lots of games on the big screen. To stay in power he needs to show his bona fides and he does this through his words and others who speak so highly about his ability having brought down Osama Bin Laden. This is done quite often in many places and as I said not only his own words but those of his minions. I would be willing to bet a tremendous amount of money (if I had any) that the statement about him killing Osama has been heard and spoken many thousands of times paper, media both radio and TV supporters his VP "Osama is Dead GM is alive".

 I would be more inclined to think the phrase, "GM is alive and Bin Laden is dead" has been heard and seen in the middle east more times than this film about Mohammad which is being blamed for all the rioting. In fact I would say the phrase about killing Bin Laden has been seen and heard a hundred times, no wait a thousand times more, than this poorly produced and insignificant film that insults and offends Mohammad. I would also be willing to bet something else is more to blame for the rioting than any film. How about a couple things like for instance, the Muslims' hatred of the West, the anniversary of  9-11 and then on top of those two things, the continuous boasting by the president and his administration about the killing Osama Bin Laden. Put these things together and it seems quite obvious to me that what's happening in the Middle East is not a hate filled film of Mohammad but something we should have been much better prepared to defend against.
