I’ve got some bad news for you. Liking or disliking George Bush, or Republicans for that matter, doesn’t really amount to anything when it comes to having any stance on any war. Let’s face it, the terrorists that produced 9/11 were planning, and starting to come here before George Bush even ran for office. In fact, as I am sure you remember, Bill Clinton was the one who said Iraq (and I quote) “building and stockpiling weapons of mass destruction” and put into policy (and I quote) “a regime change in Iraq”. Oh, you don't remember that? I guess you attribute all that to GW to which I might say, “why have you not done your homework?”. By the way, why is that? Become informed. Don't just go around regurgitating.

9/11. What does this tell you? It tells me that hatred built up to such a high level in the past, that groups decided to secretly send people into the US, to one day try and destroy it.

I have three questions for you.

#1 How many sleeper cells do you think were in the US in the 1980’s?
#2 How many sleeper cells do you think were in the US in the 1990’s?
#3 How many sleeper cells do you think were are the US now?

The only thing that should matter to you is the fact that none of the above have an answer of ZERO. None.

They were coming then, and they are coming now. I am not for or against George Bush as I understand that leaders have to live in the world 100 years from now, and not in just today, like you and I. I am not for or against war. However, unless someone can explain what I did that made countries send people here to specifically kill innocent people, then, well, I guess we’ll have war, won’t we?

I mean let’s face it, the French are assholes, but you don’t see us going to war with them do you? No. We go to war for very good reasons, even though a laymen (someone who thinks protesting is a good, effective action) may not understand it. There are two necessary reasons for war. One is rather obvious, defense. The other is not so obvious.

Have you ever asked yourself why we dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan? I mean, here the Germans are trying to take over the world, murdering defenseless Jews and Poles by the millions. A mighty engineering force and a small country that pacts a punch. It seems mighty logical to drop a bomb on Germany no?

Ok ok, so whatever, you think we should instead drop it on Japan. I’m easy and you’re lucky so fine. Let’s lob on over and have it hit the ocean, near a coast, or maybe an uninhabited island right? Ahhh, hmmm. No, let’s drop on right on Hiroshima and kill 140,000 people. Does that sound like the America you know - when I say it like that? We exterminated what would arguably be the largest loss of life in the shortest amount of time in the history of our planet.

Does anyone know why we dropped the bomb? To end the war early? Good lord people, use some brain power! We could have dropped it in the ocean, or an uninhabited island and send a note saying guess where the next one will be? We could have dropped 20 in the ocean surrounding Japan and they’d have thought we were space gods for decades to come. Why did we not drop one on Germany? Why this smaller threat Japan?

It is very obvious. Everyone does it. We did it after 9/11. It is effective, and has absolutely no substitute. The reason we dropped it on Japan, is because of Pearl Harbor.

As a country, as a leader, you have to view the big picture. The “Why”. Why did this happen? Why did someone think they can come into our home and destroy it. Do others think they can do this too? What steps shall I take to tell them, and other possibly like minded people watching that this is not acceptable?

I know, they can come into our home and destroy innocent people, unprovoked. Then, what we do is stop trading with them. Yes! We’ll not send any cigarettes, and we won’t invite them to any parties, or buy their comic books. No more Japan-US Barbeque’s either, and furthermore we’ll ask Russia to stop sending Japan ink, so they won’t be able to write anymore! Bwhahahahaha! This will certainly deter any other evil doers from thinking they can come here and destroy us.

This is acceptable. If someone killed your spouse, what do we do? Do we stop them from watching TV? No. Why? (ahhh sweet Why) Because that would not be enough, now would it?

So, we now admit, there is an “enough” that we need to come to. What is enough? Forcing them to watch “The View”? possibly not. Sending them to jail? Well, probably not either since most people the get released from jail, offend again. So really… really, what is enough?

Let me pose the following to you.

If someone raped and killed a woman, and was caught and forced to drink three gallons of water every day for a week as a first time punishment, do you think others would rape and kill women? How many more?

If we then, after a year of rapping’s and murders punished offenders by removing their leg? How many people would then desire to rape and murder?

If then after another year, when we caught offenders we removed the legs of all the family members, of those who committed rape and murder? Oh my, zero crime here we come. Every family member would make damn sure everyone in their family is nice and happy. Sounds great eh?

Then we agree. The worse and more widespread the punishment, the better it is for the victim and society. Lesson: Don’t do anything that would bring upon a punishment. Easy, no?

With this new found enlightenment, what should have have done after 9/11? Hunt a few thousand people down in Afghanistan? The enemy is Islamic extremists - do you think the majority of Islamic extremists in the Middle East give a piss about a few thousand Taliban? They don’t know them, and they don’t care. Furthermore, there are just as many Islamic extremists outside of the Middle East, than there are inside!

If, after an unprovoked 9/11 we kill off a few thousand Taliban, what message does that give to all the other people in the world, that have a vast amount of money, and a vast hatred for the western world? “Well, they killed the Taliban”, “They killed the who now?”

Can you imagine something worse? Remember GW gave the Taliban the option to give us Osama? If the Taliban had given us Osama, would have trying him in court and sentencing him to death been the correct response to 9/11? For you? What about for them, and the others like them that don’t value you whatsoever?

I suspect like many other things in life, you really have not thought them out completely. You see what is right in front of you and that is it.

Remember, there are two correct response’s. One says you are not happy about this. The other says don’t ever do this again in such a very long, loud annoying voice, that everyone around you, tries to make sure they don’t in fact, do it again.

IRAQ
And, for those of you pissed off with the Iraq War. Did you ever even bother to read the UN reports on Iraq years before the war? Do you remember what happened in the 15 years prior to the Iraq war and what both the first George Bush and later Bill Clinton were leading up to? Do you remember Iraq DENYING admittance to international nuclear regulators? Open your eyes before your mouth people.

What you probably do not realize is that this planet we are on is not caught in a loop. This record is not skipping. The future is nothing like our past. Things progress at a rate unlike any before. It will not be long at all until weapons of mass destruction are in the hands of those who hate us. Don’t believe me? That’s ok, facts don’t require your belief in them.

Ask yourself. If Osama had nuclear bombs on 9/11 would he have used them? Some people cannot be reasoned with. If you think it is about oil, you are letting yourself be fooled. Oil is a scapegoat for antiwar lemmings. Please don’t think I am for war – not at all. Obviously, war is not a good long term business plan for earth as a whole.

In your area there is a murdering rapist on the lose. He usually strikes at parks. You are at a park, and you see a man in a ski mask, he has a gun, and he is raping a woman near you. Let’s say you have a gun in your backpack. What do you do? Your options are to talk him out of doing what he is doing (diplomacy) or use your gun to stop him (war).

I already knew you were wrong, and that you would agree with me. Resistance to facts, logic, and reality is futile. Don’t try and create your own, then push it on others.

As you know owning a gun is not necessary. Well… I guess what I mean is that if everyone in the world felt owning a gun is not necessary, then they would not be necessary. Excuse me. Using your voice is not necessary. However I have one too, and unless you agree with what I say 100% of the time, I guess you better use yours right? War, is the same as freedom of speech. You are just too underdeveloped to understand this. And yet, that is all you need to understand.

Let me ask you one last thing. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction. Why is that, and are you suggesting that it is escapable?
