Wishes for Peace

At this time of year, many naturally pray for a more peaceful world. Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after his election but before he began to serve his Presidential term. Obama had pledged to close the Gitmo detention center in his initial campaign for the nation's highest office. To this day, the Guantanamo Bay prison remains open. Obama assured us he would not continue losing our sons and daughters in George W. Bush's foreign adventures. In fact, Obama has lost more US troops in Afghanistan than Bush did, and Americans continue to die there to this very day (an Afghan policewoman murdered a US adviser today). Peace is a grand goal, but as a nation, we must engage in continuing fighting toward victory.
