What Obama should have said…
As Americans we have always dealt with people in our midst
who believes in awkward, divisive, inflammatory and rude opinions. As a government
because they are allowed to say it, produce it and celebrate these inconvenient
and often times stupidly wrong ideas, I cannot apologize for what I have not
said or believe. I will acknowledge with
you that this person’s opinion and his expression of his opinion has offended
you and enraged your beliefs. As an American,
I acknowledge his freedom of expression but wholeheartedly express my opinion that
what he said and did was offensive and stupid.
I, personally, find it offensive that you have taken this one man’s obscure, asinine
expression as a wholehearted disregard from the majority for what you honor and hold sacred. We
are not a target for your anger; we are not an expression of this one man’s opinion.
And though we allow his expression of stupidity, we will not allow your
expression of physical brutality and anger toward innocent Americans go unanswered.
You may tell us we are stupid and
ignorant, but you cannot kill us because you think we are.
If your governments cannot tell the difference between the
two, maybe they also do not need the financial and economic support we have
given over these past months and years and decades. We want to be a good neighbor
in our global economy but we cannot be held hostage by violence from your radical
groups because of some radical ignorant thinkers on this side of the
world... You may be angry, you may write
and scold and harangue…but you cannot kill and destroy, for that we will hold
you accountable.
