I have two questions for those of you that have blamed this war on dubya in previous posts.
1-) Are you aware that you have enemies that want to kill you?
2-) Do you underestimate those enemies?
President Bush has brought the war to our enemies so that it would not be fought on U.S. soil. So now only our well trained and extreemly well equiped military must fight them, instead of our citizens. Do you forget that there hasn't been a terrorist attack in the United States since 9/11? President Bush did not create a war. We would not attack if we were not first attacked. I know that is a risky statement because no one came to the U.S. and killed people while waving an Iraqi flag. I see it this way. This is not a new war in Iraq. The first war, Desert Storm, never ended. The fighting ended with the United Nations telling Sadam that he must disarm and PROVE to the UN weapons inspectors that he had disarmed. He was given a time limit, or the UN soldiers would be back. I am very disappointed in the way the UN handled it when Sadam did not comply. For 10 years he did not comply. The United Nations was created to replace the League of Nations because the League had no teeth. They were unable to back up their resolutions. Now it seems the United Nations is also weak. The resounding message around the world was, "Do as we say, or we will pretend we never said it!". The U.S. is not so weak. Even Clinton found it necessary to bomb Iraq. The perception of the occupation of Iraq is the problem. If you are one of those who believe that the radicals who are fighting the U.S. troops are patriots and the that the U.S. military are only present as imperialists; you are an enemy of the United States, whether you are a citizen of the United States or not. Our problem in the U.S. is that so many of our own dispise our military and believe that we should have no national interest. It makes no sence. Why is it that we as a nation cannot do what is right for our nation? Every nation survives by doing what is in their best interest, why not the United States?
Then there's the German that compared President Bush to Hitler. What a rediculous notion. How quickly the Germans forget. If George Bush were anything remotely like Hitler, we would have already taken over Canada and Mexico and would be slaughtering <insert randam ethnic group here> by the millions and blaming all our problems on them. People in the United States who didn't agree with President Bush would just disappear. Maybe they would show up again, broken and afraid, or maybe just their ashes would be returned to their families. Then there is the fact that both Hitler and Bush are such great, charismatic speakers... Nevermind, I cringe with embarrasement everytime Bush opens his mouth. His message is usually good and true, but I sure wish he would work on his delivery... Germany was once a great nation, full of great thinkers and artists. Now its packed full of sheeple (sheep + peeple = sheeple. Bahhhhh!). Where are the great German thinkers today? Seriously, my friend, please, please think for yourself, open your eyes and see the world's conflicts again for the first time. Weigh the facts for yourself. Remember the damage a few radicals can do (didn't only about 5 percent of German population belong to the Nazi party when they took over your country?). Remember the damage a few terrorists can do. Don't underestimate the power of who should be the enemies of all the good and free people on this earth, because you are their enemy, make no mistake.
And all of you who do not hate the United States and love your freedoms, do nothing that would impeed our military from protecting those freedoms. Stand behind them and support them. It's a shame that the greatest weapon of our enemies is us. We send our neighbor's to fight for our freedoms, and we don't allow them to use all means possible to be victorious and return alive. War is Hell. If we are bringing someone war, then we are bringing them Hell. This idea that we can fight the radicals and terrorists, but we need to make sure they are comforable while we do so is somewhere between lunicy and idiocy. So what are we? Crazy or idiots? Its kind of like our education system these days. No one can be wrong, no one can be better than anyone else. Are we afraid we will make our enemies feel bad? We can't hurt their feelings that we are beating them, so we have to back off and give them plenty of chances to do some damage and kill some of our soldiers so they can feel that they are doing well? If our military were only allowed to do so, they could end this conflict without further casualties.
Maybe all the nay-sayers here are right. Maybe we need to just call all of our military home, because we will never, never win a war outside our borders while so many enemies of the United States flourish within our borders!
