What's up with the freerepublic these days? All I'm hearing is lots of doom and gloom. Some people need to seriously cheer up.

"Some people need to seriously cheer up."

Apparently you are younger and were not there to watch as the impotent USA cowered in fear during the Korean War and finally reached a "truce" that favored N. Korea.

You weren't there to watch the gov't cower in fear of both the USSR and China and finally cave in and surrender in Vietnam.

You weren't there when Jimmy Carter made threats, failed miserably in an aborted rescue attempt in Iran and never did resolve that issue except to cave in and give everything Iran wanted before they finally released the hostages AFTER RR was sworn in.

It is a pattern all too familiar to all of us who are older and the same pattern is holding true in this case. We are caving in to, "negotiating with" and honoring one-sided "truces" with thugs or terrorists or whatever you want to call them when we were obviously going to obliterate them. Now we have shown weakness once again and will let them live to kill us another day.

Very sad to watch as your country goes down the tubes.

Where is George Patton when you really need him?

Well, it's frustrating. We all want Bush to seriously kick ass in Iraq. V.D. Hanson lays out a blueprint we should be following regardless of the bad press we're sure to get both here and abroad.
