CALVARY

In the movie Air Force One, Harrison Ford plays a fictional President who pledges to be tough on terrorists—never to negotiate, under any circumstances. But when terrorists took over Air Force One, and held a gun to his daughter's head, he suddenly was willing to negotiate.

I don't blame him, do you? How could a father sacrifice his child?

Some fathers have had to do it.

On July 21, 1936 Loyalist Spanish troops besieged the fascist fortress of ALCAZAR, a 16th-century fortress that sets atop the highest hill in Toledo Spain. The Loyalist kept a telephone hookup with Colonel Moscardo who commanded the Nationalists who held the fortress.

The Loyalists told Moscardo that they'd captured his son and they would kill him if Moscardo didn't surrender his position. Moscardo asked to speak to his son and is reported to have said this, "Put your faith in God, shout Viva Espana, and die like a Man!"

History records that Moscardo never surrendered and the siege was broken.

I can't even let my mind go there, can you? I'm afraid I'd be more like the character Harrison Ford played than like Moscardo.

Not God.
