![]() "Joe" wrote in message ups.com... A vietnam vet said it best. " I have no regrets concerning our involvement in Iraq. I would rather, MUCH rather, get the terrorists in thier own neighborhoods than coming through my kitchen door. Then why stop at Iraq? I don't think the media is doing a good job of telling us what is really happening in Iraq. They show us a crowd of a 100 people that are ****ed about something, but they never show us the 900 people that are tickled to death that we have set them free. What does this have to do with terrorism? If 90% are free, job done - let's leave. I don't think that we should be there any longer than needed, but "longer than needed" is a rather subjective term. So is terrorist. How long should it take to "impose" freedom on a suppressed population? Force them to be free! Do we really "impose" freedom, or do we stay long enough to help the freedom to take root? At least 2 generations then. Should we help freedom to take root, or should we flee at the first sign of opposition? Bay of Pigs? Or should we get lots of our guys killed and then flee? Should we protect ourselves and spread freedom around the globe, or should we allow tyrannical dictators to rule with fear and oppression? Our elected leaders rule with fear and oppression. Korea has a tyrant that has threatened to nuke the US. Why don't we attack? We've been in Korea for almost 55 years. How long will we be in Iraq? Should we sit silently when we are outragiously attacked, or should we stand up for our own rights and way of life? Enforce the Constitution! If you think that your way of life is not worth standing up for, then maybe you should move to another country. Personally, I am going to defend my way of life, Even if it means dumping Bush? even if that means that I will be sending my own kids and my neighbor's kids into the line of fire. Do the kids have a choice? Or are they forced to go? I have stood in that line, so I know what I am talking about. My leaders are doing the right thing, Bush Bush or Cheney has not stood in that line, so by inference they don't know what they're talking about. Those protesting Generals stood in that line for decades, they must know what they're talking about! despite what the naysayers have to say." despite: in spite of, with malice towards. An appeal to pity, emotion, authority and full of illogical platitudes. All the justification we need to spend big, invade and kill! Lloyd Amen Joe |
