AMERICA - THREATS AND IMAGINENED THREATS
This entry may not be popular in my Conservative circles, but the truth is, this is how I feel about some of these "threats".
Iran and Iraq
OK, I believe that Iran and Iraq is a threat to us and to Israel. As a Christian I believe that we need to stand up for Israel. This threat is a threat and would be a threat regardless of what we do or don't do.
You know? Hindsight is 20/20. I mean the liberals are correct when they say that we armed them and it is our fault that they now have the bombs that they do. I also agree that we should NEVER have given them their weapons.
Knowing how they hate Israel we were wrong to arm any of them in order to have a go at eachother. It is none of our business if they wish to war against themselves. We should have stayed out of it.
The truth of the matter is unless they are a threat to us or Israel, it behooves us to just stay out of it. It doesn't make any logical sense to give any weapons to enemies of Israel or to any religous zealots who are going to use their faith to attack and murder innocents because of faith. This simply puts us in the firing zone.
But as I said hindsight is 20/20 and there is nothing we can do about it now. Because we made this bed and they hate us for it, we have a worse problem than we have to begin with.
That being said, it is too late to go back and changed things and the question is what do we do now??
Do we stay the course? Or cut and run?
Neither!!! We change the course and do what is needed to get this over with. We need to bring in more troops and end this war!! It is obvious that what we are doing now is not working and I agree that we can not just cut and run because that would put us in a dangerous position. We also have to get the Iraqi's involved more!! Let them help protect themselves. I mean if we didn't have our weapons in the Revolution, we never would have been able to win.
Besides....What is it with the US and our inability to protect boarders?? We aren't protecting our boarder at home and we are not protecting the Iraqi boarders!!!
Come on people!!! Get on the ball!!
N. Korea
Who cares????? I don't!! I know that this sounds bad, but the truth is it is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!! I mean, up until they use the weapons against anyone, it is none of our business and not our problem.
When did it become our responsiblity to police and protect other countries who are capable of protecting themselves? But then again, I never agreed with rebuilding Japan after WWII. Money that should have been used for our own people went to rebuilding a country who ATTACKED us. What kind pf presedent that that set?? Come and attack us and after we defeat you we will take money away from starving Americans to rebuild you?? This to me is asanine in my opinion.
If Japan, South Korea, or China do not wish to take care of their own backyard, then they will be the ones to pay for their own decisions.
China is more worried about refugees coming into their country than they are in protecting themselves. Besides, after they murdered all of those students in Tiananmen Square, I have no sympathy for them.
Until they become a threat to us or Israel, we should stay out of it!!
So while the left and the right want to go around in circles argueing "whose fault it is", I ask why should we be involved in the first place??
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When we went to war against England for our freedom, we had help that is true. But the French did not get involved until after the war had already started and it was almost over. We took the initiative(SP) and even though we were outnumbered and outclassed, our freedom meant enough to us to put our lives on the line.
If Iraq, Iran, Japan, S Korea, China, or any other country are not willing to do this for themselves, then why should we do it for them?? If they aren't willing to put their lives on the line, then why should we put our men and women lives on the line for them.
I have no problem helping other countries when we are asked, but I do NOT believe that we should do so if they aren't willing to take the initiative themselves!!
