The answer
Cindy Sheehan: “Why did my son die?”
God: “Because.”
That’s really all there is to it. There is no “why” that you will either understand or accept. Your mind has been made up.
You want the Earth-realm answer to “Why?”
Here it is: A radicalized sect of Islam has delcared war on everyone. They cannot be appeased, bought off, contained, or ignored. They must be killed. When one civilization is confronted with another civilization that wants to kill it, we call that “war”. There are simple rules in war. Two of them are *:
- Young men die.
- Mothers can’t change rule number 1.
I know you want some simple answer that can be boiled down to money, or greed, or property. It’s not that simple. This is like the cold war. A war of concepts. Concepts with guns. Concepts that would kill you given the chance. The difference between these Concepts that the ones we fought in the cold war? These Concepts don’t care if they die trying.
There’s your answer Cindy. It’s been in front of your face for as long as you’ve asked the question. You simply haven’t the moral fortitude to accept the answer. And you haven’t the ability to accept that your son (God bless him) understood and was willing to stand up to those who would kill you for the simple crime of being.
