Yea, I’m against the war too!
First off, dont let the title fool you. I am not a pacifist anti-war Bush hating liberal who hugs trees as a hobby on Sunday mornings.
Over the past several months, I have often enjoyed sharing my thoughts during conversations with members of the “Bush hater” crowd. I can hardly resist making conversation with people who spew statements like “Bush has mishandled this entire thing.” I love to watch their sensitive little eyes light up when I tell them that “I agree, Bush has totally mishandled this whole Iraq thing.” But, inevitably the blood soon leaves their faces when I follow up with “I dont think Bush has killed nearly enough people over there!”
You know, America needs to re-think our foreign policy involving the use of the military. I believe that as a nation we need to firmly decide if we are going to accept a role in this world as “our brothers keeper”. If we do take this honorable approach, and decide that we have a moral obligation to roam the world defending the weak against all dictators real or percieved..... then by God do it and get it over with! Today, our troops are frequently becoming targets waiting to be attacked as a result of our clearly undefined mission, (or is that our vaguely well defined mission). Who knows, but a target is a poor career choice, and generally bad for military and national morale. America loves a winner. If we as a nation dont have the resolve to go over there and kill the appropriate people in sufficient numbers, and with sufficient brutality to clearly make our point, then we have in fact already lost.
Personally, I dont believe that this nation has that type of resolve. We haven’t had it in many years..... so I say its time to bring our targets home. Will there be future Islamic terrorist attacks launched against us? Probably so. Maybe next time we will immediately unleash horrific violence upon the animals who want to kill our families.... then again maybe not. But for those who haven’t noticed, America is currently under constant invasion on our Southern border. Illegal Mexicans, and Salvadoran gangs such as MS13 pose the greater immediate threat to our way of life in this country. Only speaking for myself, I have always been taught to deal with the most imminent threat first.
