When
the US reluctantly entered WWI, Irving Berlin wrote the song "Over
There". This song celebrated the positive approach to deadly war.
This song acknowledged the obvious pain and death, but stated
affirmatively that we are going over there, going to win, and going
to end WWI. |
|
When
the US was forced into WWII following Pearl Harbor, seeing no other
way, the American people banded together, built a war machine, and
defeated Hitler, Mussolini, the Japanese, and fascism, thereby
ending WWII. |
|
When the US
was attacked on 9/11, it retaliated upon the enemy's homeland to
demonstrate strength and destroy an enemy sworn to kill Americans
and all humans' right to be free. |
|
When the US
continued the necessary offensive against terrorism, dictators, and
Islamo-fascism by forcing regime change in Iraq, it was working to
stop and prevent a global takeover by forces more despicable than
Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese combined. |
|
When the
people of Iraq demonstrate their inability to live democratically
and peacefully, when today's Americans sitting fat and safe at home
hear that war brings death, many beg to "just quit". They do not
know that over 7,400 Americans died on South Pacific beaches in just
four weeks. Americans and Europeans seem ignorant of the millions of
soldiers who died in WWII to provide us with today's safe homelands. |
|
When the
quitters who fail to see that everything in life has a cost and
important issues must be won, when the US quits and runs, then
Americans may realize how soft their lives were before 9/11.
Pathetically for them, their lives may never again be as soft and
they may never again have the luxury of being so lazy. |
