Gary, Thank you for saying that.... I started to write something similiar
last night. When the terrorists attacked London... They simply stealed my
resolve to support this fight once again... We are not from Spain... or
France... We are Americans, Our dear freinds have been attacked by people
that won't ever understand a candy ass attitude. They are cowards who will
only understand STEEL ON STEEL... and yes that costs us something. Often
the price is as high as our sons and unfortunately our daughters today.
I've written to several people on this list from Iraq when we were there the
first time, The most poingent letter I recieved while I was over there was
from one of my freinds in the Atlanta club who had lost a war in Zimbabway
and seen his country's name changed to Rhodeshia, He'd lost everything his
family had built over the years... So he knew better then any of us the cost
of loosing a war... He told me point blank that loosing wasn't the
answer... and I agree. You can never let someone else impose thier will on
your society without paying a price for it.
In a democratic society the majority rules, once the decision is made we
move on and support the President. If you disagree with the outcome work
harder in the next election to change it, but in the mean time as an
American you have an obligation to support the President that was elected by
the people and our process. If you can't do that there's always the
opportunity to move to another country... ( should I recommend France? )
