"This nation is prepared to present its case against the Soviet threat to peace, and our own proposals for a peaceful world, at any time and in any forum -in the Organization of American States, in the United Nations,or in any other meeting that could be useful-WITHOUT LIMITING OUR FREEDOM OF ACTION." John Kennedy..Cuban Missile Crisis...1962
Like Kennedy, Bush went before the U.N. ......like Kennedy, we will take action whether Russia, China, France is aboard or not. I look at it as great if they join us...or get out of the way!! Bush is making his case tomorrow night from my fare city, Cincinnati. (Cincinnati being the representative of the heartland) Reading the newspapers today I see where this speech will give us some cold hard facts, I'm hoping this is the case. I do not believe Bush is pushing this for payback..avenging his father. Nor do I believe it is for oil....ego... or because of the shaking economy....for purposes of boosting the Dow a little. No..I think there is probably a very real, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER. I think Bush is an honorable man...you may not like his politics but I have no doubts about his truthfulness. His veracity I do not question. Do I think we should follow a president blindly? Absolutely not!! But at the same time I think that there are times we need to unite and give our support. At least give a listen. Anyone that knows me knows how much I love Joni Mitchell!! I put on Woodstock sometimes and just get the most peaceful..loving thoughts....I lose track of time..space. her music just does this to me. The sentiments of Woodstock are glorious........but Joni said she DREAMED she saw the bombers turn into butterflies. But then I see that evil madman's face.....that gassed his own people. Who takes pleasure and watching the suffering of others. His former mistress told of his pleasure in watching people blindfolded, hands tied behind their backs..lined up before a firing squad. This is how he got his jollies in the evening watching the days events on video. There is a thing in this world that sometimes we just have to come up against...and turning the other cheek will not work: PURE RAW EVIL! I don't know if Saddam has the capabilities NOW to do major harm to us? The big question is do we have time to wait and find out?
