The War in Iraq
Yesterday, while watching the coverage on Hurricane Rita on Fox News, I saw a commercial in which several mothers who had lost their soldier children in Iraq were complaining about the war and demanding that President Bush pull our troops out of Iraq. To be quite honest, I was surprised to see that Fox News would run such a commercial. I would have expected it from CNN but not Fox.
My heart goes out to those parents and families that have lost their children and loved ones in Iraq and any other part of the world. My children are the most important things to me in this life and I would be just as crushed if they were killed. When the war in Iraq started, I had to be honest with myself and ask, "What if my son went to war and was killed?" I wouldn't want him to die anymore than any of these people on the commercial wanted their children to die. But, I would be proud of him for enlisting and serving in our military.
The war in Iraq is absolutely necessary. We are seeing Muslims from many other Middle Eastern countries fighting our soldiers. We see what they stand for; murdering innocent people, men, women, children, most every one of them Muslims themselves. It proves that these supposed "freedom fighters" are nothing but a bunch of murderous hoodlums who only want to shed innocent blood. This mindset has, unfortunately, spread throughout the Middle East. Israel has suffered attacks from these violent murderers for years. Bin Laden and others say we have murdered millions of their people. I have to ask, "Where and when?" If I remember correctly, the United States helped the Afgans out when they fought for their freedom from Russia. We give billions of US dollars to Middle Eastern countries every year and oil revenues that make many Middle Easterners extremely wealthy are mostly paid by Americans when we pump gasoline into our cars.
All of this just proves that if you give and give and give, people will only hate, hate, hate. We see it right here in the U.S. We have given blacks in America, trillions of dollars in aid over the last forty to fifty years. Still many blacks in the U.S. blame "the man" for their problems instead of looking deeply into their culture to see where changes could be made. They also make heroes of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Why don't they look to blacks like Bill Cosby and Clarence Thomas who have made something of their lives?
I am very sorry that the mothers in the commercial lost their children but if I remember correctly, none of their children were forced to serve in the United States military. Women are emotional and God made them that way. If we let our country be ran by emotions we will not exist for another 100 years. We can already see what happens when women such as Barbara Boxer, Hillary Clinton and other liberal congresswomen gain positions of power in which they have no place. It is time for our country to stand behind President Bush. Thank God that our President is bold in the face of adversity and is not blown about by every wind of change as his predecessor was.
