I can’t believe you people. Do the UN’s resolutions mean nothing to you? There were UN resolutions on the books that authorized war if Saddam (Iraq) was non-compliant.
World Wide intelligence sources stated that Saddam had WMDs and was working on Nuke capability. EVERYONE believed this including Clinton, Kerry, France, the UK etc.
The middle east is a festering pustule of inhumanity (and has been LONG before Bush was elected).
WAKE UP FOLKS… they are not just burning our flag anymore they are trying to KILL AMERICANS and END AMERICAN DOMINANCE FOREVER.
Maybe you like that idea… I can’t speak for you but their intention was and is not to stop with 9/11 but to make that pale in comparison to what they do next.
And once we are not the dominant world power… Who do you think will fill the void? Oh what benevolent society will show the world the way to peace and enlightenment… ?
Maybe it will only make sense to some when it is Los Angeles that gets itself OsamA-Bombed.
The only way we can win this thing is the democratization of the Middle East. There is not going to be peace in Israel/Palestine until there is freedom and democracy in the region.
We can’t afford to ‘wait’ until the people rise up…. by that time LA may be a glass parking lot (or whatever else AL-Qaeda has up its sleeve) so we had to get the ball moving ourselves.
Since we already had a green light from the UN because of non-compliance to resolutions, and the worlds intelligence communities believed that IRAQ had WMDs, that is where our president decided to strike.
You might not like the thought of pre-emptive war, but we were forced with no alternative. What happens if the next terrorist disaster takes place and there is no Afghanistan to attack? What if they are just 21 Saudi Nationals? Is it ok then to go to war with Saudi Arabia?
Great changes are happening in Iraq. Their people are tasting freedom and will soon be enjoying he fruit of their own democracy. This in turn is putting ENORMOUS pressure on Iraq’s neighbors. Syrians, Jordanians, Saudis, and Iranians are asking themselves ‘why are Iraqi doctors/teachers making more money than I am?’ As freedom, hope and prosperity take over from tyranny and despair, there will be a paradigm shift and a change in the region.
But the forces of ‘evil’ and those that benefit from a repressed Middle East are not going to sit back and let it happen. That is why they are congregating in Iraq to impede Iraqi/US progress for freedom.
To me, the next election will be the most important election of our lives (as John Kerry says it will). The war against terror will be the deciding issue for me as I see that future of a prosperous America depends on winning that war. Not just finding an exit strategy.
I believe that George Bush, if re-elected, will do everything in his power to win the war on terror and that we WILL WIN THE WAR ON TERROR.
On the other hand, I think that John Kerry is building a campaign upon an Iraq exit strategy and not winning in Iraq.
So I am voting for Bush in November.
And God will help the future of Democracy, not just in America, but in the world.
Back to the trenches…..
