I agree...Well Said. I might add... The things that were said about other countries being terrorists & dictators are true. If our war on terrorism is true, they will each fall one by one. Who knows who will be next? It may take years but either by political or economic pressure or military might, these types of countries/governments will fall by the wayside. If they don't, the world will never really be free or know peace. And that my friends IS what this war is all about, whether you believe it or not. Don --------------
Dale, Well said!!! Rich -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dale McIntosh Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2003 7:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: OT -- RE: [Chevelle-List] For our detractors 1. I haven't heard of India or Pakistan invading a neighboring country with the intent of anexing it. 2. Why wait 10-12 years? Hmmm...who was the President after Bush, Sr. and before Bush, Jr.? Of course, nobody complained when that White House sent cruise missiles flying in the Middle East just before his Impeachment. 3. Who openly supports terrorism againt "infidels?" 4. Who openly uses chemical weapons on it's own people to crush an uprising? 5. What stopped Bush, Sr. from going to Baghdad in the first conflict. Why, I believe it was the UN charter. 6. Who was mandated by the UN to destroy such weapons and has fought every attempt to verify their destruction; and has done little to back up the charter? 7. Who wussed out of this conflict? The UN for the most part and countries that the US and UK fought and died to make free. 8. Who is footing the $$$$$ for this conflict NOW? 9. Who wants rebuilding contracts Iraq AFTER other nations lifes have been lost? Those same nations that didn't want to assist in the effort to rid the country of its leadership. 10. Why aren't these nations at least sending troops to the rear action arena if nothing else than to assist with humanitarian aid for Iraqis? 11. Where are the UN forces with humanitarian aid? Personally I don't like war anymore than the next average US citizen. But, when a threat punches you in the face (911), sucker punches you (multiple terrorist bombings abroad), at some point you have to say, "Enough!" Additionally I'd take Iraqi oil in exchange for the hard currency the fighting force nations have had to spend to pay back those nations. If the country has the wealth (with all the restrictions imposed so far) to pay for all these presidential palaces and such, the country can afford to repay the cost of liberation and still have money in a free marketplace to pay for rebuilding themselves.
