I am certainly not an isolationist Libertarian but I am deeply worried about this new "strategy". Iraq won't be a problem but who is the next "domino" in Bush's great "strategy"? And how long will it take before the rest of the potential dominoes, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Libya, North Korea, China, etc. realize that they would be better off to join forces and attack us immediately instead of waiting until we pick them off one at a time? Is that a battle we can win? And whatever happened to Bush's claim in the debates that unlike Gore, He, Bush would not be nation building? Throughout history every nation that has ever tried to conquer the world has failed and in the process doomed their own civilization.
Well, if those countries were as fat, happy and stupid as American leftists, they'd never figure it out until they'd already been hit and beaten. They'll sit and debate until the Warthogs come home, maybe longer if they ask for the UN to give them permission to fight. We had already been attacked repeatedly long before 911 and we hadn't figured it out even by that awful Tuesday. Some Americans still haven't figured it out, and since they were spared all of the grisly reality of what it is to be attacked at the leisure of our enemies, they all too quickly forget. Oh what a blessing to both peace movement and our enemies that most Americans didn't have to see burned bodyparts and pink smears on the pavement, and can simply forget until the next time.
America have never figured out that this country's been picked apart one bit at a time for decades by all sorts of factionalism and by race-baiters, political correctness, etc. We've been picked apart so much that we've lost our ability to distinguish between right and wrong and now half of Congress thinks it has to get permission from the UN on a difficult issue instead of debating and making a decision on their own to say yes or no. That's really sad- none of us ever elected the UN to govern. We did not give our power to the UN, we loaned it to our elected officials. Now our elected officials give it to the UN?
Since they're not even debating among themselves, I guess they are waiting for the UN to give them permission to debate, too. And what is even more sad is how many Americans do not see how absurd it is to let an unelected UN think for them. But then, we don't even see how government itself has creeped in and taken away our rights because we aren't willing to fight, telling us how to raise kids, what to eat, what is hate speech and what is not, telling us where to send our kids to school or what kind of coolant we can use in our air conditioners and dictating whether or not we can plant a certain crop. Raising taxes and redistributing wealth... no one fights it, so we keep getting milked. And people think that if we don't go after terrorists wherever they lurk, that terrorism will just go away?
