Appeal for the Hostages
Today REMAINS Monday, 19 June 2006”.
Two American soldiers are newly missing in Iraq, after their checkpoint was attacked south of Baghdad on Friday last, 16 June 2006.
They are Pfc. Kristian Menchaca and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker. Their comrade, Spc. David J. Babineau, was killed.
Eyewitnesses report the missing soldiers, members of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), were abducted after the attack.
Is it not passing strange that such staunch proponents of the war against Iraq as W. Bush, D. Cheney, D. Rumsfeld, C. Rice, K. Rove, B. Frist, D. Hastert, J. Inhofe, T. Coburn, J. Sullivan, etc., have not expressed their “support for the troops” by publicly appealing to trade themselves for the freedom and lives of these hostages?
Is it not passing strange that not one of those Americans who cavalierly support the war against Iraq has publicly appealed to trade themselves for the freedom and lives of these hostages?
We are incessantly told that America is a “Christian nation”. Heed this, then, you proponents of this war, you who flee in the face of these missing hostages: “No greater love than this, than one lays down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)
Who among you lovers of this war, will be first on the plane to Iraq, to lay down your life for these missing?
