Will Grigg's Liberty Minute

September 11, 2007

The atrocity committed against our nation six years ago is widely seen as a spontaneous manifestation of unprovoked evil. But the policies of the political elite in Washington sowed the seeds for the harvest of terror that came in on that terrible Tuesday morning.

Washington has been deeply involved in Middle East politics for decades, propping up corrupt ruling elites in the Arab world while supporting some of the region's worst terrorist factions ? from the Muslim Brotherhood to Hamas. Likewise, Washington has lavishly underwritten both Israel and some of her most embittered foes.

Six years after 9-11, we're mired in a war against Iraq, a nation that never attacked or threatened us, with plans on the boards to expand that war to Iran.

Given the natural antagonisms between the West and the Islamic world, conflict was likely and perhaps inevitable. But our rulers have been busy borrowing trouble, and the bills are starting to come due.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
