Wow... Nice post Conf... long winded as always but very nicely put.
I'm anti-war myself, as anyone who's been in war (Gulf part 1) or has an ounce of common sense... probably is.
That being said...
I'm reminded of something my father said... Violence solves nothing... and violence begets violence, neither is an acceptable sollution... untill someone hits you in the face for the third or forth time, then you just gotta hit back.
Like it or not folks we got hit... now I'm all for taking all and any action necessary to insure that it NEVER happens again. If a country feels the need to sponsor Tyrany or terrorism, then I feel that we as victims have the right to make the cost of supporting those foul concepts so high that no one will ever be willing to support them again.
Let's be honest here, the French and the Germans have their own aggenda... Yipee what a shock, let them have it. It is high time that we as Americans stop bowwing down to the Europeans when it comes to our foreign policy. We've allowed them a free hand in our affairs for a century now and all it's led to is 2 world wars and lots of over political police actions.
This is about America, and our security from a mad man who publicly stated agenda is our destruction. I have no problem at all with hitting first.
Am I anti-war... of course no sane person isn't... but I'm pro-security.
So France, and Germany, and the rest of the UN can piss off just like we should have told the League of nations to do in 36.
Peace before War
War Before Terror.
PAX
