So . . . from AT LEAST 1764 to 1812 . . . we struggled for our own Independence. If my math is correct, that's 48 years. Yet we're now impatient with the Iraqis who have lived under tyranny for hundreds of years.
Lets also remember it wasn't until 1920 that women were allowed to vote in federal elections.
Good point. Yet we're so impatient with the Iraqis. I understand why the Libbers are impatient . . . because their anti-anything GW is for . . . but I don't understand why many conservatives are becoming impatient.
War was declared on us long, long ago by these Muslim Radical Pukes. To me, our only choice is whether we fight the war on their turf . . . or on the streets of EVERDAY America.
I don't want my children and grandchildren dodging bombs like Israeli children.
It isn't only women and blacks who were rather "disenfranchised" by our Constitution, either. The "Papists" were REALLY looked down on, too, regardless of the "tolerant" language of the Constitution. I hadn't really understood how deeply that was, so I was astonished 1960, when JFK being Catholic was considered such a negative for his election chances, but if you explore the history of our country in early times, you can see that distrust of the Papists has run very deep throughout our history.
The Iraqis are doing very well, in a very short period of time, to have such an reasonable first cut at a constitutional government with quite a bit of equality for all, and this despite the terrorism of the FRAUDcasters and the Islamofascists.
