Solidarity

There are less than three months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The man elected will be the President of all Americans, not just the Democrats or the Republicans.

To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we all came together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

If you support the policies and character of John Kerry, please drive with your headlights on during the day.

If you support President Bush, please drive with your headlights off at night.

“Let's go to the White House on Sept. 13, 2001. Just 48 hours after 9/11, the toxic rubble at the World Trade Centre site was still ablaze. On that afternoon, Bandar met on the Truman balcony with President Bush and the two men lit up Cohiba cigars. At the time, the White House knew that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis. It knew that Osama bin Laden was Saudi. And, as the 9/11 commission concluded, it knew that Saudi Arabia was "the primary source of money for al-Qaida", which was largely funded by wealthy Saudis via Islamist charities.

President Bush was in the presence of the ambassador from the country that is the guardian of Wahhabi Islam, the fundamentalist sect which helped produce al-Qaida.” –- Craig Unger, The Guardian

All Hat No Cattle History Flashback

The island of Grenada after Hurricane Ivan hit. (Royal Air Force)

On October 25, 1983, the United States, backed by token military forces from Caribbean nations, launched an invasion of the tiny island republic of Grenada. President Ronald Reagan, citing a recent bloody coup in the country, ordered the military operation to restore order and provide protection for U.S. medical students on the island…. The invasion force was met by moderate resistance from the Grenadian Army and armed Cuban personnel, and by the time the island fell under U.S. control on November 2, 18 American servicemen were dead. Despite these losses, the invasion of Grenada was, as expected, an exemplary American military operation. It was thus in sharp contrast to the U.S. peacekeeping mission to Lebanon, where on October 23, 1983 -- two days before the invasion of Grenada -- 241 sleeping U.S. Marines lost their lives to a suicide bomber in Beirut.
