Yes, We're Terrified

We are closing our embassies for business in over 20 locations throughout the world. It reminds me of Uncle Harry who told Aunt Rose, when the dog license fee arrived for Tammy, their French poodle: "Pay it, Rose." She answered with, "But Harry, the dog is dead." Harry's response: "I don't want any trouble." That's what Obama is doing--he's pulling an Uncle Harry and making about as much sense. We are not abandoning them, we are merely closing them from the public, so if the terrorists decide to attack them, our ambassadors will still be targets.



True story. Tammy was killed a year prior to this incident when Aunt Rose took her for a walk and let out too much leash, whereupon Tammy walked into a moving motor vehicle. Another true story. Suffice it to say, both Aunt Rose and Uncle Harry were rejected by Mensa and both have since passed away.


So here we have a POTUS who ordered embassies located in Islamic nations to close for business because he wants to prove to the world that terrorism works. Rather than fortifying these embassies he is ordering them closed for business, but staff will remain on location. To me, if you are looking to protect Americans from Muslim jihadists, this makes as much sense as buying a dog license for Tammy.


My latest novel, Jihad Joe, is about Islamic terrorism and suspense.  In it I challenge the precepts of the religion through my protagonist, Zed Nill, a journalist, captured by terrorists and who is destined to be killed if the American President refuses to release three Gitmo prisoners.  Of course, American policy demands we never give in to terrorists, and for Zed, the clock is ticking.
