Lindy Bill, sir: What exciting times we live in. Never were a people so well informed, so drawn into political discussions on an hourly basis, with instant communication of events around the world With a little encouragement , you could probably write the most significant or attention getting segment of Mr Bush's speech Felllow Americans ( thats us) The events of 9-11 2001 marked a turning point -a point at which the vulnerability of our country to terrorist actions was eposed -and demands that we recognize that we no longer live in a isolated society- that the peoples of the civilized world, in order to survive , must act in concert to limit the power of terrorist nations and prevent the spread of WMD's The UN was established etc.... but is without the power to enforce ......... etc Without action, are we to cower in our homes, individually unable to respond except with fear to futher Terrorist actions on our homeland? Is this the fearful future that American Veterans,living and dead, who fought in two World Wars envisioned as they willingly risked their lives to save for us survivors? I think not. It is not in the Nature of Freedom loving peoples anywhere to kneel down to tyrants - and make no mistake they have followed their threats with action with indescriminate killing of young and old, rich and poor, colored and white, of all religions in the 9-11 attack. And the threats continue.... ( I will let you polish this off and and draw a logical conclusion ) Regards Sig |
