The World Survived

On this Sunday, September 12 in the year of Our Lord 2010, this writer awoke to find that the world has survived despite the prophecies of sure destruction by those wringing their hands over the proposed burning of the Koran by one Pastor Terry Jones of Florida.

This fact may have something to do with the fact that Jones, decided not to burn the Koran after getting a new directive from God. It seems to your faithful correspondent that his original idea to burn the Koran was inspired by a whisper in his ear from the Almighty. Who knew that God was so indecisive?

But others burned Korans on September 11, but nothing much happened except a little more pollution in the air and a little more anger from people living in countries that nobody in his right mind wants to have anything to do with. In other words.

The President made a mealy-mouthed speech remembering and "honoring" the attack on 9/11/01, and it was pretty weak beer. But what can one expect from a man who believes in nothing but his own greatness? Think of George Armstrong Custer without the bravery, dash and boldness. But the One will, if given the chance, lead the nation into a metaphorical Little Big Horn and it will be unlikely if even a metaphorical horse named Comanche survives.
