Do we really need to know?

Lately it seems that the "peoples" NEED-TO-KNOW!!!, has been getting in the way of reality.

Reality: We are at war.

You may not like the war, you may not agree about how we went to war. Fine. But the simple fact is, we are at war. In Afghanistan, Iraq, and here and there, and everywhere democracy has a stronghold. And it started long before 9/11.

What disturbs me, is when I turn on the news, and they tell me,"We are mounting an offensive in Najib." Or,"We have secret prisons in Europe." How about the daily," People are loosing support for this war." My favorite is when they do stories on the brave homicide bombers families. WTF?????

I can't help but think, that if I were a Muslim extremist, watching the daily news from America would be like watching a comedy show. I mean, we tell them where we are going. We tell them what we are doing. We offer them support, we help them in their plans by showing them ours. Frankly, this seems a bit f*cked up. People need to put their country in front of their politics, it's that simple.

The real question is: Do we really need to know everything?

The only answer is: No.
