Honorable Marine Uncle,
The bear has been challenging the U.S. for decades.
They are complicit (sp) in Saddam Hussein’s plans to achieve bio and chemical weapons before he was toppled, and are now involved with Hugo Chavez, and Iran’s plans.
I don’t understand what President Bush meant when he said he looked in Putin’s eyes and saw a friend. I see an enemy.
I might as well say right now, I am no military expert, historian, and didn’t even stay at a Holiday Inn Express lately.
But something in my gut tells me the winds of war are blowing. No matter what world opinion is — which politicians tell us we must consider in a “global” world, economy — we still are the most resourceful, productive, and enlightened country. We are dependent on oil from our sworn enemies, and we have enemies within that want our demise hastened.
I am sure our forebearers have seen similar situations. Sure, because I know men and women who lived through it, who had brothers, sisters, Mothers, Dads, who gave their lives to defend the freedoms we enjoy here in the U.S. We have also freed many other people over the globe, and paid a heavy price.
We’ll do it again, if necessary.
I am SO happy to see we have citizen reporters at the Dem convention. The average American today could care less about what happens, as long as we have free, govt. services. The ones who (could potentially) vote need to see firsthand who stands for what.
Like I told another poster, we have wars both on the homefront, and on foreign soil. We need both U.S. fronts to win.
