I don't know of Phil Hendrie, never heard him and wouldn't know his voice.

But Rush had a guest host a week or two ago (I think it was Mark Belling but I'm not at all positive, I just caught a small part). He said something that I thought was profound about groups like ANSWER that say "war is never the answer." He said sometimes war is the answer. If war were never the answer, we'd still be British subjects. If war were never the answer, the United States of America would now be two separate countries, one based on slavery and one not. If war were never the answer, Hitler would have conquered much if not all of the world. If war were never the answer, Saddam would still be waging his murderous and bloody regime. Nobody likes war, but unfortunately sometimes war is the answer.

After being very young during Vietnam I used to think war was the worst thing in the world. But after 9/11 I now know there is something even worse-- a lot worse. And that is having nothing dear to you that you will protect and defend. Having nothing that stirs your soul with pride that will make you stand up and fight anyone who threatens it.

I'm glad to know in my heart that there's something I hold dear enough for that. And I thank God we have people who are more than willing to serve in our military to protect and defend the rest of us. Cindy Sheehan is not glad about that and does not hold either them or the ideals upon which this country was founded, anywhere near dearly enough. Between the lines --but just barely between-- she's saying we don't deserve to be protected and defended. So what she's saying and doing is about ME too. And I take her treason very personally.
