OT--And this Year's Nobel Peace Prize Goes to...
Harry,
You managed to skip right over the real reason I support the guy. The first
reason was just a "dig" at you.
Read:
2) I'm tired of the way that the World has kicked us around since the end
of
the Cold War. I guess that Europe figured that they didn't need us once
the
big, bad Soviet Union fell apart. Deep down, many European's were happy
that the bully got his due on 9/11. It's human nature to resent the
powerful...and favor the underdog.
Bin Laden's long-term goal is to seize the oil in the Middle East and
destroy us economically. The House of Saud is a house of cards...and
we're
in Iraq to see that bin Laden's plan doesn't come to fruition once the
extremists have seized power in Saudi Arabia.
Appeasement through diplomacy is not the answer. I fully believe that
his
actions are precisely what I'd be doing were I in his place. Europe sees
it
as hegemony and arrogance. They're short-sighted and don't realize that
should the Middle East's oil fall into the hands of the extremists, it's
"lights out" for Western civilization.
I can't think of one policy that Bush has pushed for that I don't agree
with. Besides all that, he's a likeable guy.
