I don't know the author of this, but I'm mighty grateful for it.
I know everyone has a different opinion on the war
and our current President. But, this article makes a lot of sense; take
2 minutes, read it And give it some thought. Don't miss the last
paragraph.
When electing the next President, 'the only decision
you have to make is Who you want sitting in that seat in the White House
when - not if - WHEN We get hit again and millions of American
lives are put at risk!' This is from: 'You ain't gonna like losing.'
Author unknown. President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on
terrorism. But the Mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq.
Bush's mistake came in His belief that this country is the same one his father
fought for in WWII. It is not.
Back then, they had just come out of a
vicious depression. The country was Steeled by the hardship of that
depression, but they still believed Fervently in this country. They knew that
the people had elected their Leaders, so it was the people's duty to back
those leaders. Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together,
rallied behind, And stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them
or not or Whether the war was going badly or not.
And war was just as
distasteful and the anguish just as great then as it is Today. Often there
were more casualties in one day in WWII than we have had In the entire Iraq
war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President
because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their Differences in
WWII and worked together to win that war.
Everyone from every strata
of society, from young to old pitched in. Small Children pulled little wagons
around to gather scrap metal for the war Effort. Grade school students
saved their pennies to buy stamps for war Bonds to help the effort.
Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition
Trying their best to join the military.
Women doubled their work to
keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of Everything from gasoline
to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very Little complaining.
You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the
President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and
Entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile Countries
and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made Upbeat films and
entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a Bunch even
enlisted.
And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the
day off with a Pledge of Allegiance, and with prayers for our country and our
troops! Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots
in our Cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No
Newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A
newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained That
German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to Wear
women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being Scared
by a dog or did not have air conditioning.
There were a lot of things
different back then. We were not subjected to a Constant bombardment of
pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or On radio. We did
not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed Gangs roaming our
streets.
No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of
terrorism. He Made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and
fortitude of Our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our
fathers Fought so dearly to preserve.
It is not the same country. It
is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra and The land of Oz. We did
unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude Changed when we found out
that defending our country would require some Sacrifices.
We are in
great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They believe That it
is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam.
It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred Million
Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause... Hitler and Tojo Combined
did not have nearly that many potential recruits. So... We either Win it
- or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing.
America is not at war.
The military is at war. America is at the mall, or watching the movie stars.
(Remember If you ever forwarded an e-mail, now's the time to do It!)
PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY, AND ASK OUR GOD/LORD TO TAKE CARE OF THIS
ELECTION!!
