Ghost of a flea

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children, including a number of Canadians, die a horrible, burning or crushing death on September 11, 2001 or didn't they? And was support and encouragement of those terrorists not traced to the Afghanistan Taliban?

And today I'm supposed to care that Taliban prisoners might be "mistreated" after capture by Canadian troops? Not **By** Canadian troops but **AFTER** they're turned over by Canadian troops. 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 cowardly thugs tell the world they are sorry for killing far too many Canadian kids, pressed into service to rescue Afghan Muslims from themselves.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of is respecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. They are not soldiers! They are terrorists.

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 Canadian media stops pretending that international law should prevail in a fight with religious fanatics.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a Taliban terrorist getting roughed up to obtain information, know this: 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.

I do care however about the Liberals and NDP taking up time in Question Period and making this a cause celebre. I care a whole lot that these bastards are wasting our tax dollars giving this a moment's thought. I care that they dare claim this Afghan prisoner bullshit "is a concern of all Canadians". Here's one Canadian who absolutely, positively doesn't give a shit.

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your e-mail friends. Better still, call your MP and tell them to get off this political hobby horse and deal with issues facing us, the CANADIAN people!! Maybe we can get to the people responsible for this ridiculous, hypocritical and overwrought behavior and bring it to an end!

If you don't agree, you know where your delete key is.
