The Brew: Welcome the Danger

The catastrophic failure of America’s foreign policy at the hands of its spoiled elites keeps racking up a body count among ordinary citizens — especially those patriots who stepped up to serve our country. Who would have thought that lazy Machiavellian decisions by the George H.W. Bush administration in the early 1990s would be getting National Guardsmen killed in our nation’s capital three decades later? But that’s how things play out in down here in the Vale of Tears, which is why we need statesmen instead of cynics in charge of shaping our policies.

Now one National Guard soldier, Sarah Beckstrom, is dead, and another is on the brink, as Gateway Pundit reports:

The terror attack conducted by Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, unfolded around 2:15 p.m. near 17th and I streets NW, across from Farragut Square in Washington, D.C., just blocks from the White House.

Beckstrom and her fellow guardsman, 24-year-old Andrew Wolfe, were on patrol when they were ambushed without any warning.

This violent rampage came from an Afghan our government foolishly admitted, after two decades of a hopeless occupation of that ungovernable country, which we had to invade to avenge the attack on September 11, 2001, committed by Muslim terrorists committed to avenge America’s presence in “sacred” Saudi Arabia. The first Bush administration, cozy with the Saudi ruling class thanks to the Bush family’s oil interests, put American troops in Saudi Arabia to protect that Islamic dictatorship from neighboring Islamic tyranny Iraq.

 

This is the downside of running a global empire. The profits go to smooth-faced, sweet-talking men in thousand-dollar suits from both political parties. The price gets paid by servicemen, and ordinary citizens.

It’s painful to have to point out the many, many wrong moves that led to this horrifying murder. No, we should never have stationed soldiers in Saudi Arabia, especially when global terrorist networks such as al Qaeda (whose leaders were recruited by our own CIA to fight the Soviets) threatened to respond by attacking our country. No, the second Bush administration shouldn’t have ignored clear intelligence that warned of al Qaeda attacks in early 2001. While we had to attack after 9/11, we shouldn’t have taken on the fool’s errand of building a secular, pro-feminist democracy in the most tribal, primitive, fanatically Muslim country on earth. Nor should we have slogged away emptying the ocean of Islamic backwardness with teaspoons for 20 years. Nor should we have promised U.S. visas to thousands of Afghans for accepting well-paid jobs helping U.S. soldiers to liberate their country.

We shouldn’t have let the Democrats steal the 2020 election. Once they did, we shouldn’t have abandoned $90 billion worth of military equipment in a sudden, desperate surrender — nor admitted thousands of unvetted foreigners from a profoundly anti-American country, when half a dozen safe Sunni Muslim nations which we lavish with foreign aid could have taken them instead.

Fox News reports:

The ambush shooting of two National Guard members near the White House is fueling fresh scrutiny of the vetting of Afghan evacuees, with former FBI special agent Nicole Parker telling Fox News Digital the screening process during the rushed 2021 withdrawal was essentially a “free-for-all.”

Tens of thousands of Afghans were evacuated to the U.S. in the wake of the withdrawal and subsequent Taliban takeover of the country. The chaotic nature of the operation raised concerns at the time from Republicans, and in official reports, that some evacuees were not properly vetted and could have catastrophic consequences.

“They said it is a ticking time bomb waiting to explode because we’ve just allowed all of these people into our country,” Parker told Fox News Digital.

Laura Loomer has some reflections on the host family that housed the foreign killer and lobbied for the U.S. to import more others like him:

We can’t rewrite history, or undo the criminally irresponsible decisions of the past 30 years. But at the very least we can stop accepting “refugees” and immigrants from faraway countries with hostile cultures. The number of people we take from such places should be zero. Indeed, the first Trump administration’s policy of freezing out newcomers who can’t possibly be vetted was a sound one. It needs to be reinstated. We saw a first step from Trump in the wake of this recent attack:

We shouldn’t respond to the violence of global Islam with hatred, but with clear-eyed determination to protect ourselves and our families, while continuing to practice the Gospel of peace and love, as Muslim convert to Christianity and author Dan Burmawi points out:

We weren’t born in a backward country dominated by a violent false religion. There but for the grace of God go we. Let’s pray for people trapped by false gospels and shaped by their dark doctrines. Let’s support missions that preach them the Truth. But that doesn’t mean we should let them move into our cities, build sharia cities, and lapse into jihad violence whenever the spirit moves them.

Along The Stream

Don’t miss Michael Giere’s thoughtful essay on the plain, indisputable fact: No group of human beings is really “indigenous” anywhere. We are all just pilgrims on this planet, whose destiny is eternal.

If you haven’t watched James Robison’s inspiring message on gratitude to our heavenly Father, take the time to enjoy it.
