How can people, mainly the bulk of the media, be so blind to something that puts food on their family's table, lets them drive nice cars.....and that delivers on to them a level of fame (or notorious depending on who you talk to) equal to a movie star?
I understand when someone says they are against war, only a complete moron would say they look forward to or enjoy the death and destruction that war is. How can anyone truly say they support the war in Iraq then? Not with an us or them mentality, but with the understanding that with the freedom the we as Americans enjoy there comes certain obligations. One of which is the responsibility to stand between those who seek the same freedom for themselves and for their children, and those who seek to turn or keep those people scared and as powerless as possible.
Freedom is not a right.
Freedom is not free.
The freedom we have to disagree; protest, vote, go to school or not to go to school, pray to who we want or not to pray at all, was earned and defended against those who would destroy those freedoms. Those men and women fighting and dieing, do so to ensure that you and I will not ever have to live under those conditions.
If there was a United States of America when we fought for our independence, you bet your ass they would have been the first ones to jump to our aid. "War is not the answer".....tell that to Washington, Jefferson and Adams!
