John, when we free the people of Iraq, and enter the capital city among joyful cheering Iraqi citizens. When their newly elected leaders hold ceremonies, praising the courage of our President and armed forces in helping to change a nation strangled by tyranny, into a nation full of freedom. When the torture cells are written about, when book after book is published, describing in detail the link between Hussein's regime and the Al Queada networks. Will those who oppose action today apologize for the mistake they made?
Will Dashle and the other partisan political players admit they were wrong?
Will the protestors for peace hold apologetic marches?
Will Jimmy Carter write op-ed pieces admitting he was completely wrong?
Of course not. They never apologized to Reagan, and they sure won't apologize to Bush.
There were vigorous debates in congress during FDR's day on whether to go to war. But when the votes were cast, and the congress said its piece, we stood as one nation against tyranny and in support of our troops. This important concept has been lost as some bow to the alter of politics at the expense of our national unity. United we should stand. The votes have been counted and the congress has given the President all the authority he needs to wage war agaist the cretin in Baghdad.
The day we turn over our sovereignty to the U.N or France, is the day we say goodbye to the greatness of American freedom.
Other nations such as France, are simply too immature and corrupt to follow a clear moral path when deciding how to deal with evil. One day in the future, they may mature enough to accept the responsibility of a world decision making body. Who knows, anything is possible.
What we do know is they clearly are not ready for this level of responsibility today. |
