Arming rebels
Going through my morning headlines I came across this:
http://www.cnn.com/2012/02/20/world/meast/syria-unrest/?hpt=hp_c1
Obviously such as decision shouldn’t be taken lightly. It got to thinking though, how can a government that requires its own law abiding citizens to pass background checks before purchasing guns, in good consciousness arm a group of foreign strangers?
Possibilities include:
A) They are Syrians (i.e. Not Americans), so if the guns are used for evil, we don’t are quite as much
B) If the recipients of the guns are closet terrorists, that’s one more reason to support the war on terror. (see Operation Fast and Furious)
C) The weapons in question are surplus, but not permissible for civilian use in the U.S.
In most parts of the USA, an upstanding citizen must undergo some degree of a background check, and often a waiting period before purchasing a 5 shot revolver. Domestically there are gun control advocates that are not satisfied with that level of regulation. How do we move from “not without a background check” for a semi-automatic civilian weapon, to anonymously distributing military grade weapons to an “impromptu village guard”?
wine joke
A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning; it’s a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. God works in mysterious ways.
After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers.
The woman says, ‘So, you’re a man. That’s interesting. I’m a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There’s nothing left, but we’re unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days.’
Flattered, the man replies, ‘Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God! But you’re still at fault…women shouldn’t be allowed to drive.’
The woman continues, ‘And look at this, here’s another miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine didn’t break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune. She hands the bottle to the man.
The man nods his head in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman.
The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, ‘Aren’t you having any?’
The woman replies, ‘No. I think I’ll just wait for the police…’
