Pro-government "tick"????
How rude.
And how untrue.
We do have a government and of all things it is responsible for the defense of this country against enemies, foreign and domestic. Surely it does more than it is supposed to do and certainly we who think it should do less have a responsibility to work to elect people who think similarly - IF WE CAN.
But, maybe you missed the fact that our government was attacked by people who were growing, thriving, and planning these attacks in Afghanistan and other terrorist havens around the world.
If you think we should not have done what has been done to destroy the terrorist camps and heirarchy and whatever else has been done to route the terrorists from Afghanistan - come up with a better plan.
So far, we are not directly involved in actions against Saddam Hussein. We do know that he is developing Chemical and biological and soon nuclear weapons to use against (likely) Israeli and likely American interests. The concern is that Saddam is also working - as is Iran - with the terrorists who did the Sept 11th attack - meaning that these terrorists could acquire some of Saddam's weapons and use them against Americans IN AMERICA or elsewhere. (There is nothing you or anybody can do to stop the fact that Americans do not just reside in our country but are all over the world working and living - termporarily - or traveling. Sorry.)
Chalk me up as another "pro-government tick" who thinks our President has every right, and every need, to be ready to do what is necessary to protect Americans and America! That is the FIRST reponsibility of any President and this "tick" is very very grateful that he and his administration are working night and day - even on his "time off" in that area.
That does not mean I agree with everything President Bush has done or does. But, for heaven's sake - HE IS THE PRESIDENT WE HAVE NOW and being so, he deserves my support and prayers. I will gladly give them. IN return, I pray for our nation every single day and for the protection and safety of our military and of our President and of all our citizens. What are YOU doing besides attacking people on this forum who admire this President?????
TO SAVE YOUR SORRY A$$!!
