For The Love Of Brussels And Paris

Mr. President, your country is asking you to do what you can to save the innocent from this world terror.

For The Love Of Brussels And Paris

After what has happened in Brussels, Belgium, this past week, the world needs to unite. The tragedy in Paris, France, right before Christmas killed 129 people and injured 350; now the terrorist attack in Brussels killed people 31 people and injured 330 innocent civilians. When will there be an end to all this?

Five men played a role in taking away the lives of innocent civilians that were going on with their day the way they usually did before Tuesday. Wives kissed their husbands off to work while kids were waiting to see their parents coming home from work in the evening. Those kids are either parentless or will be raised by single parents. They will be traumatized by the memory of their homeland being terrorized for the rest of their lives. When they grow up, they will be the ones telling the generations that follow how their homeland was damaged, their home front was attacked by five men who ruined the lives of not just the 30 people they killed and the 330 people they injured; they ruined their families.

According to CNN, “'There is not that calm in between the storms we used to see,' said one U.S. official, who said typically one would expect there would be some time after an attack where others regrouped.” After the attacks, information was found that ISIS has more European cities they plan on attacking. For example, CNN reported, “A combination of electronic intercepts, human sources and database tracking indicates several possible targets had been picked out by the ISIS operatives over the last few months since the Paris attacks, according to U.S. counterterrorism officials.”

So, I am sorry, Mr. President, but when is enough going to be enough? Maybe you should stop visiting Cuba when Castro didn’t even greet you off the plane when he once even greeted the pope and be the world police you personify yourself to be. What are we supposed to do, wait around till they finally strike us on our homeland? No no no, so pardon my manners, Mr. President, but I think it's time you finally put an end to death of innocent civilians, mothers, and children dying because of your lack of effort in employing military force to stop the threat of ISIS.

It’s time we minimize our risk and come together as a nation to save our homeland and what is going to be left of Europe. So I don’t care if you are a Democrat or Republican, but in this case, we can all agree that, as absurd as it sounds, Mr. Trump has the right mentality in ending the threat to ISIS. There is no way you can justify what ISIS is doing to this world.

People constantly ask the question why are they doing this? And the truth is, no one has a clue. What do they want? World domination? All of us to convert? Get out of here. Enough is enough. Paris and now Brussels are the devastations of ISIS’ terror and what they will continue doing if we do not put an end to this. I refuse to see that happen to any other country. So, Mr. President, your country is asking you to do what you can to save the innocent from this world terror.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
