September 12th, 2001 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. (I Thes. 5:1-5) INations around the world have rallied around the U.S. in condemning the horrible terrorist act performed in New York City and Washington DC. Many have pledged aid as well as support personnel. Retaliation is being voiced from all over the world. President Bush is calling on all NATO member nations to come out in support, of which all 19 member nations have vowed ready to fight along side Americans if called upon. America must and will hunt down those who are responsible, whether individuals or governments, that chooses to harbor such criminals. For the first time in the history of the NATO Alliance Article V of the NATO charter has been invoked. This declares an "armed attack" on any member to be an attack on all 18 members of the alliance. It was originally intended to deter a Soviet invasion. "In the event of attacks ... each ally will assist [the United States] by taking such action as it deems necessary," a prepared statement read. "Accordingly, the United States' NATO allies stand ready to provide the assistance that may be required as a consequence of these acts of barbarism." This alliance is both warranted and necessary for the survival in a forever-changed world. Unfortunately, I see many alliances that will be formed in the very near future due to this unprecedented terrorist act. One, The Islamic Federation, has been a sleeping giant for many years. Make no mistake, they are our enemies and will fight us to the death. As more and more evidence is being gathered, I think you will see many nations in the Arab League singled out as participants, whether directly or indirectly. The U.S. and their allies will strike against all nations that are responsible. Although, I support retaliation to its fullest extent, American's must be ready for what opposition may come. This very well may turn into an all out war in which nuclear weapons could be used. If key Islamic nations are found responsible (excluding Iraq), such as Iran or Egypt, this could trigger an Islamic holy war.
