So I walk in the door. It has been a long day. An emotional one to the extents that this week has been like that of one long car accident. One long funeral. One long war that has begun right in front of my very eyes and right in front of my child's very eyes. But what I walked into tonight was something I was not expecting.

I turn on FoxNews as usual...I had heard all week that there were Florida connections.I had family in those buildings and working around them. I had been connected to this story just as much as millions of other Americans. But I look at the actual screen on my television. It is a scene that I witnessed for 2 years every single day until recently. The Hamlet in Delray Beach. Now the scene of FBI, Delray P.D. and every other law enforcement agency under God. I lived across from where these men were unfolding this plan of attack for years.

I go back to thinking...Florida. Palm Beach. George W Bush. Janet Reno. Terrorism. Bill Clinton. Barbara Olson. Six degrees of seperation.The mess of the election. The court date set to hand down a sentence across the street from the WTC in Federal Court. The same with all of the documents from the Clinton Administration to the FBI.

So much cover-up. So many mistakes. So many questions. Is it time to ask why? Or is it time to finally just sit back, take a deep breath, pop a xanax, drink a bottle of water, look at my son who will be 2 in 4 weeks from today...and look at what we have to truly answer for?

I think it is the latter. The time has come not to protect myself. It has come time to protect my son. My country he lives in and he will be growing up in. He is what I will fight for. He is what I will hope ALL Americans will take into their hearts with their grandchildren,daughters,sons,you name it.Fight for our children here because that is who is going into battle for us in the next couple of weeks. That is who faces these terrorists who had the nerve.

These are the hero's that will be there for us and are right now day and night, night and day. Like the firemen,police, and rescue workers working on all 3 sites right now. They are all hero's to us to me to America to the world.The purpose of going to fight for this and for the United States is that we will have hero's in the future to replace them for when we call on them again.

I lived across the street from terrorists. The farthest thing from hero's. Again never ceasing to amaze me God has shown us another sign that we need to DO something. Supporting the help effort is one thing right now. But the attack on us has happened. I do not think it is the last by far. I think as a war approaches we will be threatened and hit with more.This is our threat here.Now we must put full support and attack by mail or any means in this country anyone who puts down our military and most of all our President.

Our motives are always questioned here on FR.Why do we always attack the media. One only needs to watch the brainwashing our own television can feed us and who is narrating the pictures on the "Sense O'Clock News". Do not let anyone put this country or President down. This is not time for political correctness. This is the time of WAR.

This is about our future as a country. We must stand now and take down the enemies amongst us that are just as bad as overseas that our military will be fighting.
