"The Bush administration is trying to scare us, so they can grab more power. That is why they are talking about a war on terror. There is no war."
Some say we can never win a war on terror. That is sad.
We all agree blowing up innocent people is wrong. This is what terrorists do. They kill innocent people. They do not come at our military, head on. They hide. Plant bombs, deliberately to try to kill women and children. They have targeted children who were getting candy.
People are asking you to turn your backs on this. They say that those Arab people over there are not worth fighting for. "It is not our problem."
September 11 made it our problem. This was the terrorists second attempt at knocking those mammoth buildings down. They were successful.
Terrorists are loosing. They have commented their "Hitler Moment." By attacking fellow Arabs in Jordan and Iraq, terrorists have opened up more war fronts then they can handle. Just like Hitler, they became drunk with power, they do not have enough manpower to handle the amount they have chosen to take on. "They really thought you Americans would cut and run!!"
For the first time, terrorists cannot move freely through the Middle East. Police forces are rounding up terrorists in countries like Pakistan. More round-up will follow.
I got a chance today, to hear one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's "fireside" speeches that he made. This one was done during the third year of WWII. "It makes you proud to be an American!" Many people said we couldn't beat Hitler. Charles Lindbergh was one who said we should pack up and come home, Hitler was too powerful. President Roosevelt's speech made it seem important to try and defeat these Germans. Many people in America believed we had no business fighting over there in Europe. "It was the Japanese who attacked us."
If you can get a chance to hear this speech, do so. Warning.. President Roosevelt refers to God and the act of praying many times during this speech. So if you think there is a separation of church and state in America, you may be offended by Democratic President Roosevelt's speech.
(See back in those days, people were more tolerant of religion.)
