9-11-01. Vietnam did not start with the NVA killing 3000 American Civilians. We are busy helping the Iraqis kill off the terrorists in Iraq. The same way we killed Nazis, Fascists and Japanese Samurai in WW2 to keep our Freedom, we are killing Islamic Terrorists where we find them. When we have killed enough Jihadists to make an impression on the extremists faction of Islam that fighting with US is going to get them dead, we will have peace. Bad men do bad things. It is up to us to stop them. It is NOT morally courageous to proclaim we should "run away" from those who want to kill innocents in the name of their God. Hiding from this fight will NOT make it go away. Time for the American Left to grow up. This is not 1971, these are not the North Vietnamese we are fighting.
Funny you should mention this. Because as I outlined in my post about my daughter and her lame attempt to describe the differences between Vietnam and Iraq, she mentioned the attack on America on 9-11.
I immediately responded that Iraq didn't attack us on 9-11.
Just as soon as I said this, all the words I'd read about Iraq, Saddam, his association with terrorists, Salmon Pak, the 1998 Clinton indictment of Osama in part for his association with Iraq-it all came to my mind. There was too little time to explain it all.
I didn't want those children going all about and saying that Iraq attacked America on 9-11. Some liberal or another, perhaps their teachers, would likely smack them silly. Because the liberal moonbats stand on only the simplest of facts. It wasn't Iraqi citizens that attacked America. We all know that it was Iraqi money and Saddam encouragement that was likely part and parcel of it all.
At least those of us with some IQ above room temperature have figured it out.
The point of it all is that the Dems are going to start hitting hard at the Vietnam comparison. And unless those that care about such things get up to snuff on it all, they just might win.
