"entertainers who make themselves our enemies" So now if you don't suppport the president, that makes you an enemy.
What a crock. What bothers me about this whole affair with Iraq is just how easy it has been to persuade the American public that a war is necessary. Come on folks, just how much of a threat is Iraq that we have to actually invade the country and take it over at this point in time? What are they capable of that we are so afraid of. What are they capable of that at least a half a dozen other countries are not capable of? Who can actually say that they are more of a threat than North Korea at this time. Iraq doesn't scare me that much. North Korea is the one talking about a nuclear war!
I only pray that the administration DOES have some bit of evidence that Iraq is as big a threat as we are led to believe. The ability to send men and women into battle is a huge responsibility, not some game. It is a power that should be used only as a last resort. Period, end of story.
It seems that the only people that are questioning the administration, holding their feet to the fire are being labeled anti American and traitors. What I fear more is the day when we stop questioning our leaders and simply follow blindly like sheep.
We are in a war against Muslim terrorists. The word "jihad" means war, and their declarations of "jihad" are declarations of war. They've been carrying out this war for over twenty years. They've done so with attacks on military barracks, attacks on our embassies, attacks on airplanes, and two attacks on the World Trade Center.
Iraq is clearly one of our enemies. If it wasn't clear before, Osama bin Laden's call for terrorists to attack America if we attack Iraq should make it even more clear.
If we want to win, we must attack our enemies and their allies. We will never be able to enact enough security precautions to keep them from hurting us again, and in enacting these measures we reduce our own freedom. Instead, we must kill the terrorists and their allies until they surrender or none are left alive.
Anyone who would say what she said is either an enemy or a "useful fool" unwittingly in their service. Maybe I should amend my original statement to say that entertainers who make themselves useful fools in the service of our enemies should not expect the America public to support them. In either case, complete abandonment by their former fans is the right course of action.
