Let us all take a moment to thank God above that we live in in a country which is blessed by the Almighty with the ability to produce such people.
Soon in Iraq there will be celebratory gunfire. Then there will come the inevitable reprisals against those who dared to stand up against this cheap thug who fancied himself God. Many of the people involved in bringing him to justice will soon pay for their courage with their very lives.
It will be left to us who are left here to remember those who have paid and will pay the ultimate price for simple human freedom and dignity.
Do not forget those who have sacrificed and those who are still sacrificing for this.
Were it not for one American Saddam would still be in power. He and his band of thugs would still be terrorizing, torturing, raping, and killing his own people in order to keep themselves in power.
Were it not for the courage of one single person, Iraqis would still be cowering in fear of this man Hussein. When most of the 'civilized' world and indeed many in his own country were against him this one man knew what needed to be done.
He knew that he was taking a terrible risk. He knew that he was going to be vilified, slandered, and mocked. Yet in spite of all this he chose to go ahead and do the right thing. He wagered the blood and treasure of the mightiest Nation the world had ever seen against the power of this evil punk and he prevailed.
History will judge this man kindly no matter what happens next week.
The man I write of is our President, George Bush.
Never before in the history of mankind has such an evil tyrant been deposed from power so easily. I do not say that lightly. Every single American who gave his or her life over there is a jewel beyond price. But the lives saved are inestimable.
"He who saves one life, saves the World entire".
Our President, George Bush, has saved countless lives with his courage, leadership, and willingness to take decisive action when literally the rest of the world was willing to treat with this cheap, vile, murderous thug.
For this reason alone he deserves a place in History singular to himself.
We can not, we must not, we will not allow this man, our President to lose what he and all of us have fought so hard for next week.
Vote.
Vote like your lives depend on it. Make no mistake about it, your lives and the lives of everyone you hold dear do indeed depend on it.
For no other reason than this, George Bush has earned the right to a majority in both Houses of Congress for the next two years.
