i know there are a bunch of you who are going to the protest tomorrow. it's been talked about on the list.
i figured, well, if someone is going to announce that, why not have a flipside of the opinion ? the way i see it, i support the war. i think a lot of people are so quick to forget what happened almost a year and a half ago. remember the sudden breath that was stolen the moment you saw those towers collapse. or the sheer grief of the nation. the burnt scorch mark on the field of one plane where heroic americans decided to fight back. that's the thing. they fought back. it's a well-known fact that a good part of the money trail that went to fund the horrors of 9/11 can be traced back to iraq. and that day, when all the other countries expressed their wishes of condolence, what did hussein say ? 'i support what they did, but we had no part in it.' lies. you might argue, well, there's not enough evidence that they've been building nukes. there is now. what about the chemical warheads they found ? yes, i do question bush's motives for this war. yes, i agree that he seems too aggressive, or has a grudge (well, wouldn't you, if someone tried to kill your father ?). but that is not the main motive now. iraq has purposely broken their promise not to make more warheads, have violated the sanctions put on their own people by smuggling in goods (check out those palaces). iraq has praised the al qaeda for taking out the towers and the attack of the pentagon. each and every one of us knew the exact cost of what 9/11 did. we can't lie to ourselves when it happened. we wanted retaliation. righteous vengeance. our president said he would not stop until each and every person who was responsible for this was eradicated. we all agreed at the time. all of us would love a time of peace and no war. but, sometimes, it is a necessity. so go to the protest. it is your right in this country to do so. it is your freedom. but don't forget what cost that freedom has. and don't forget the luxury of climbing onto a bus and not fearing of a bomb going off. and don't forget those guys who are risking their lives to keep our country like this. and most of all, don't forget all those people who died on september 11. ohyeah, before i get my arse roasted, i'll bring up a quote by voltaire ? what was it ? i can disagree with you and vice versa, but i will fight to the death for our right to disagree. _____________________________________________ Free email with personality!
