The thud after the message

"We have to take this battle to ISIS, ISIL or whatever they want to call themselves. We have to beat them until they don't wiggle anymore."

Just recently our Secretary of State (that be John "Windboarding" Kerry) finally issued a very harsh proclamation. Truthfully - I did not think he had it in him. Nor his boss. But he did it. He called out the situation in Iraq and Syria for what it is. Genocide. Total and complete genocide by the Islamic Terrorists against innocent Christians. So first came the message.

And then came the thud. The action to follow that message seems to be missing in action. And to make matters worse, this Caliphate seems to be spreading. It is not only in Africa and the Middle East, it is now in Pakistan. Over Easter weekend in the city of Lahore, a Islamic Terrorist suicide bomber targeted where Christians were gathered. The bomber did hit his mark (to a degree). Of the 70 killed, about 15 were Christians. The others were Muslims.

As some already know, we have seen this movie before. And it stunk. It was the Armenian Genocide of 1915. It was during the last Caliphate. It was the near extinction of an entire group of people. And because of "The Great War" going on at the same time, the Islamists had perfect cover to murder Christians. And murder they did. By the time it was done in 1923, an astonishing 1.5 million Armenians were slaughtered.

Now we are in a new Caliphate. And the blood of the innocents continues to run in the street. On Saturday, one of the news shows had retired General Jack Keane on discussing the carnage over in the Middle East. His viewpoint has not changed one iota. And retired Lt.Col Ollie North feels the same way. We need tough men on the ground to back up the air strikes. We have to take this battle to ISIS, ISIL or whatever they want to call themselves. We have to beat them until they don't wiggle anymore.

Students of history can read about the Nazi Holocaust and the Armenian Genocide and wonder how these could have happened in the 20th century. How they could have happened with nobody coming to help. Well, the same thing is now happening in the 21st century. While our Commander-in-Chief is telling graduates at our military academies the greatest threat the world faces is manmade global warming, innocents worldwide are dying just because of their faith.

So if you are wondering what that noise is you are hearing today, it is the thud after the message. Nice job Secretary Kerry - that is except for one thing. Talk is cheap. About as cheap as Christian lives have become in many Muslim countries.
