If you can think clearly for a moment(I know it's hard for you), here are a few Real Questions you might want To Ask Your President:
Once we have defeated Iraq, will we have to stay there one year, ten years, or perhaps longer?
Shortly, we will expand NATO to include a large number of eastern European nations. Will our armed forces to have to stay in western and/or eastern Europe for another 50 years?
A further question connected to the previous one - referring to our forces in Japan and in South Korea. We have been in Japan since 1945 and in South Korea since 1950. Will our forces stay there permanently? This is asked since we are now expanding NATO.
Keeping the three above questions in mind, can you, Mr. President, foresee any time in the future when the United States has fewer foreign engagements than we do at present, given the fact that all such engagements place a great internal burden upon all Americans?
It is widely reported that we are now building permanent facilities for our armed forces not only in Afghanistan but in all the other "stans", except one. How long do our armed forces have to stay there, right in the middle of Central Asia?
Historically, after a war, the armed forces of the warring nations return to their own lands, even from territories they had gained in a war. Then, after that was done, a peace treaty is signed between the warring parties. Embassies are reopened and peace is again the governing standard. Do we here in the U.S. still have an idea of how an international peace, a real peace, operates? Are you willing to strive for a real peace?
The sad political truth is that President Bush can answer NONE of these questions.
PS You sound like the only one who had friends die in the World Trade Center. |
