actually, thats a great start.
I'm not dwelling on the past, but I am using 9/11 as the motivation to rid the world of all the maniacs.
that'll never happen.
Bush has won alot of respect for his concept of a new world order,
don't you just cringe at that phrase? Doesn't "New World Order" bother you at all? Am I the only one who thinks that phrase seals the fate of the world?
where the options are pretty much accept democracy or face the consequences.
contrary to popular belief, democracy isn't the only form of government.
He's the first President I can remember who stepped to the plate to address the entire mid-east situation.
because he was pretty much forced to. Took him a whole 2 years before he finally got around to it. Esecially considering how tensions flaired once Sharon visited that one site. Temple Mount? or something.....
Clinton tried, but these animals don't abide by handshakes and treaties.
he's not the only prez who tried and failed, also. Isreal has been starting shit since they first were formed back in '48.
I can't see why people blame palistine so much. Granted they don't like the jews much either, they were displaced from there land. Of course they're gonna retaliate. Ask the indians.
I don't know where some people have been, but much of the mid-east is now seriously shaking in their towels.
how do you know? whens the last time you visited the region?
We crumbled a regime they thought would give us serious problems in one month.
um, they are still giving us problems. unless soldiers dying isn't a problem.
We have eliminated that regime's lifeblood, that being Hussein's sons,
not only are they propaganda (well, their bodies), but they're also meaningless. They didn't run the country. They didn't even run the resistance thats occuring. Sure they were twisted fucks, but here in america, we have our own share of twisted fucks.
and now that has happened, Iran, while not very public about it, is very worried. As well they should be. See, this is the time we go all out.
ummm, listen to yourself...
They started this freaking mess, and by God we're gonna finish it. We've got the power, the people, and the guns to do it.
but do we have the right?
As far as I'm concerned, the fighting that has gone on since biblical times is gonna come to an end one way or another.
but adding fuel to a fire doesn't make the fire go away.
And if 9/11 was the catalyst, so be it. I know I sound like some good 'ole boy, but that's how I feel it has to be.
thats because thats the way it is. Because despite all of our opinions, and our beliefs, and what we feel is right and wrong, this is all still going to happen. Its part of the plan.
