It went well. I asked where were all these demonstrators when we were bombing Yugoslavia in 1999, or when the slaughter in Rwanda happened--pointing out their double-standard for demonstrating against "war."
The interviewer asked about our numbers today. I told her we didn't get our permit until Thursday, so we have no idea how many. I pointed out that we show our support by going to work, paying taxes and voting.
She also asked if it was worth the potential for large numbers of Iraqi and American deaths and a drawn out conflict. I reminded her that the media said the same thing about Afghanistan--body bags, quagmire, etc.--and it didn't turn out that way.
I told her we are not going to war against the Iraqi people, but to rid Saddam's regime of WMD and to rid Iraq of Saddam.
She asked if we should continue "talking" with Iraq. I told her that we have been and continue to "talk" with Iraq, but that we would not be at this point with the inspections were it not for the pressure and leadership of President Bush and the American government.
Well, I'm off now to the Tri-State Chapter's rally. I appreciate their work in putting it together and hope we have a good showing today. See you all later.
EAGLES UP !!!
You run into Curtis yet? He said he would be at a patriot's rally on his show yesterday. I suspect he meant you folks.
