YOU! YES, YOU! DO YOU GIVE A DAMN?

I subscribe to the daily listing of Jihad Watch/Dhimmi Watch articles. As I skimmed down the list for today, I experienced a number of thoughts and feelings. First, this list is not unique. These are articles from America and around the world. Much of the daily fare looks like this set. Second, the gestalt hit me.

We are in a war, I remembered. Then I wondered if others remember. Answer? I do not know, except for those who have loved ones in the armed forces. Does anyone know the enemy, I pondered? Are people still wondering if it "Islam, stupid?"

Lastly, from this gestalt, I asked two questions to Americans and anyone reading this anywhere: 1) Are you awake enough to care about who is doing what? 2) Do you give a damn about what is being taken from you daily?

For your gestalt, here is a simple listing of the contents of Jihad Watch for today. If this list does not stir you, then you are part of the problem, and not part of the solution:

Suicide bombing kills 13 near U.S. Embassy
