Everyone says this will be a "NEW" war in Iraq . . . hi-tech, low civilian casualties, etc. But the point remains . . . WE'RE IN A DAMN WAR!!! My problem with all the protesting . . . ESPECIALLY THAT BEING DONE BY AMERICAN PROTESTORS . . . is that we have 250,000 warriors in the field. In World War II these protestors would've been arrested and tried for sedition. But then we had all the hippie protests during the Vietnam War and it suddenly became "chic" to dishonor your country and her warriors.
I say we should go back to ancient and honorable times. All these protestors are doing . . . and I add France, Germany, etc. to the mix . . . are aiding and abetting our enemies and history and the American people should judge them accordingly.
The Democrats are taking their lead from all the foreign anti-Americanism. In fact, to them, it proves the worthiness of their cause. I say, BULLSHIT!, when the rest of the world is against us, that is when we must come together as Americans. That is when your true character is told.
I never, NEVER agreed with Pee Wee Clinton when he ordered the military to take on his foreign adventures -- as meek as they were -- but neither I nor anyone I know protested them while American warriors were at risk. And, even then, I would've wrestled any foreigner who called America the names they're calling her now.
The protestors are showing their cause is not peace, their cause is simply a cause of opposition. And the Democrats are proving they are no different than the Belgian government. I pray the middle-of-the-road Americans remember these days come November of 2004. In a fair and just world, these traitors will be dealt with at that time. In a fair and just world traitors like Teddy Kennedy would be shot by a firing squad. All his blustering and blabbering does is cost American lives by making our enemies think we don't have the stomach for a fight. Our warriors have the stomach for it. To all those doubters I say, "Stand back and watch, suckers. You'll see what happens when right and might joins an American soldier righting wrongs done to their country and countrymen."
I also say the rest of us have the "stomach for it." We do . . . the hard working Americans who make the United States what she is . . . but the silver-spooned, political royals like Teddy Kennedy who has never worked a day in his life will never have the stomach for fighting for their principles. He has none. Principles? Teddy Kennedy? Surely, you jest. Not unless it floats in the bottom of a bottle of gin. A coward who abandoned, then allowed a lovely young lady to drown in a canal . . . Kennedy knows squat about principles. Or patriotism.
History is looking down on us all. Stand tall, America. I pray to God you'll stand tall.
I read a report stating Saddam was blackmailing Chiraq regarding illegal French exports to Iraq and it makes sense.
While France might convince the US to bury their illegal and immoral actions, once a French backed Iraq war started, there would be no way to stop Saddam from making Chiraq's and France's treachery known.
It's easy to understand France's position. After 8 years of inspections Clinton was bought off and the inspections were halted. Chiraq figured that was virtually the end of the sanctions, so why not make some money with his old dear friend Saddam?
It would have worked just fine, except when 9/11 happened the US had a true American as President and George Bush didn't just talk a good game he meant it. President Bush went after the terrorists and it led to Saddam.
Now Chiraq has to take any measure to protect himself and France too. The fact that it is destroying relationships, dividing old allies and pointing out the futility of the UN doesn't matter to Chiraq as he tries to cover the whole thing up.

The liberals in our own country are simply too guilt ridden to countenance the use of power for any reason and are embarrassed to be part of something that can capably enforce its own will.
