Re: Why support Dubya(Bush)
now, i'll try to comment on the orig topic, without puttin my foot in my mouth.<br /><br />remember that we got hit on our own soil.<br /><br />iraq had a dictator that hated us, and had WMD, plus killed his own people for his own agenda, plus paid suicide bombers, and totally scoffed at the worldwide forum, called the UN.<br /><br />we all basically agreed to find the terrorists, and we believed our gov in giving us the name of OBJ, so we went into Afghanistan. But, we had probs believing our gov, in going into Iraq. herein lies the basic split in our country. many were questioning the strategies of our military, and going into Iraq.<br /><br />soon, we had the full breadth of our media conglomerates pushing the horror of war. following that is the opposition to the current administration. there are guesses, suppositions, and flat out claims of lying being listed against our administration. we still haven't found whether this is true for our president or the congress as a whole, but it is being pushed hard on every level of media, which we get piped into our homes via internet, tv and radio.<br /><br />many here still feel some sense of admonishment against those who would try to hurt this country, others feel we've gotten bitter when we should follow the views of other countries.<br /><br />we have to consider the stance this powerhouse of a country takes on the world stage. whether we condon, or rebuke. whether we will turn the cheek, or appease, or stand against the things that we hold morally right.<br /><br />our current administration is willing to place our military against all forms of terrorism, and other candidates are for having more meetings and compromises, avoiding any forms of violence.<br /><br />you've got to ask yourself, does violence begat violence? or does submission prevent violence? <br /><br />personally, i've found that submission does not stop it, but allows it to continue. and the only way to stop it, is to fight hard, and give the reality of violence back to those who would harm others, until they have been killed, or surrender. but that's just my thoughts. this is not a black/white issue, and cannot be resolved by words. otherwise, we would not have people coming over to our country trying to kill us.
