Euterpe, I made this statement, and stand by it: " Wonder if the anti-war ostrichs will EVER understand what is happening?
The statement you indicated I made is no where to be seen from my post, as of course I didn't write that.
There is no glee in my heart...only sadness and frustration, that seemingly smart people can not or will not see this is a long time, ongoing situation. It is one that if we do not settle, our children will have to live with. We are so politically correct, we will not see what is there for us to see.
So you are right in your statement.... >>>>>I think it is wiser to not make that kind of polarizing statement, and to acknowledge that people can understand what is going on, but believe different options may have been preferable. <<<<<
but reread mine. Yuu will see NO glee in mine.
You and I agree more than we disagree.... However, we look around us today, and I see comments like yours, and I just wonder .... In fact, one of the reasons we have been given for the war, is that we took it there so it wouldn't come here. That seems not to be working, I guess.
Have we been hit again since 9-11?
We may be, but could you make some suggestions as to how we might prevent it more than what is currently being done...????
I have one....SEW UP THE BORDERS! All of them....
Of course, that would cost BILLIONS more, because of all the little inlets and thousands of miles of shoreline....to say nothing of thousands of miles of land....unguarded land. |
