The Mosque

Let me start by saying that nobody was more enraged and horrified on 9/11 then I was, but consider this...Wouldn't it be a sign of our strength if we allowed the Mosque to be built? Wouldn't it show the world that we are tough enough to fight our enemies without persecuting our own Muslim citizens? My son and my nephew have committed themselves to put there lives on the line in defence of our nation, just as my father, uncles and cousins did before them. Don't we owe it to them to show the same guts at home that they show overseas? Please know that I am sympathetic to the pain of those who lost loved ones in the attack and I grieve along with the rest of the country, that is why it is important that those deaths have meaning. If we are the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, let us be brave enough to exercise our freedoms. That's what winning looks like.
