I just have to blow off some steam, because when stupidity becomes overtly prevalent all around me, I just have to vent before I explode. And I have a huge steam valve, so please forgive all the words. I have tried to stick to facts to keep it short.
I am sick and fed-up with the ridiculous stupidity that people against the war in Iraq continue to demonstrate. It's everywhere, this constant regurgitated rhetoric, all based on theory, emotion, and confusion. It's driving me nuts. These people don't know how to interpret simple fact, it's too horrifying to them so they have to translate what they hear in their heads so it fits into a personal moral mold. Stop it, this is not healthy. Put down the coffe, go have a beer and face reality. Let me address each misconception one at a time.
"Isn't the one we're looking for Usama Bin Laden?" or "I want to see UBL brought in, not Saddam Hussein" are along the lines of my first beef. Forget Bin Laden, he's one pixel in the whole friggin display. Apparently when Bush declared "War on terrorism" some people heard "just Bin Laden" as if he is the sole container of the horrible ideal we know as terrorism. As if once we get this one guy, all terrorism stops, or there is no other terror monger than Al Qaeda. Did you catch the news today, we got a terrorist, a big one who helped plan 9/11, and his name wasn't Bin Laden.
That's right, a war on terrorism. Those of you that are engineers know what a daunting task that is. If you're boss asked you to put an end to terrorism, you wouldn't believe it. That's like putting an end to hunger, or death. I mean, realistically, that's like garunteeing that you have eliminated all computer crashes for every computer platform and operating system. End terrorism in every nation for and by every person.
But we're trying to do it. Good ole' American gusto. And it's about time, we have all known that terrorism was real before 9/11 and the most difficult risk to deal with. This kind of defensive initiative is the next level, and we needed to be there for a long time, that's your Athlon64 of the defense world.
Saddam hussein is a no-brainer on this one, folks!
"I don't think Saddam is a good person, but..."
Stop it right there. No buts. This man kills babies. I am not lying to you, it is a fact. Saddam kills babies. Fact #2, he has violated 18, count them, 18 UN resolutions, and until recently has had 4 years of shceming time after he kicked out the UN inspectors in '98. Fact #3, we know, for certain, that he has stockpiles of botulin, small pox, vx gas, and mustard gas rockets that he has not accounted for since he was demanded to last november by the UN. He's playing games because he knows he can get away with it for a while, he has great experience knowing how slow and incompetent the UN is. Saddam kills babies. Do you want him to kill your babies?
The only possible solution to stopping terrorism is to catch the terrorist(s) before they commit a horrible act. After is not good enough because the potential horror is too rampant. Stopping another 9/11 after it happens doesn't work. This is true for all evil deeds, but i'm sorry, we can lock up the murderer of one after he kills someone a lot easier than we can lock up 5 bombers after they kill thousands. Get Saddam before he kills thousands. I'm not so sure he definitely has contacts to terrorists, it's a legetemate concern, but not based on clear fact. But the facts say Saddam is bad enough on his own.
"inspections are working." No, they aren't. They never have, they never will. Not in Iraq. Open your eyes. I don't want to rant on this one because it is too stupid. Watch the UN on the news just to see how stupid it is.
"we are only attacking Iraq because of their oil." I'm sorry, I didn't hear Bush say oil. I heard terrorism. I don't listen to conspiracy theorists.
And the final thing I have been hearing that steams me is "By killing civillians we will only cause more terrorism against us." This again is theory. Last time I checked we wern't bombing Afganistan and Taliban and Al Quaeda before they attacked us on 9/11. You cannot predict the future. This theory is not universal, it barely holds water in small thimbles. Look at history, the facts, and allow me a counterexample. One of the reasons the Japnese have learned to love America and Baseball (what could be more american than baseball) is how well we treated Japnese POW's during WWII. They took the game back to their coutry, and they love it, and they love America. And we nuked Japan! What sports; we nearly annihilate them, and they take their licks and are a good sport because they know we are humane. The good guys. We are the good guys. Last time I checked we have been friends since.
I have picked the 5 most intelligent (and only real) arguments the anti-war people have been endlessly spewing, and none of it is based on fact. You people who are out there calling Bush "the real terrorist" are not worth giving real thought to because you are so stupid. Do the world a favor and stop taking up space, go to school, learn to listen for a change, learn to think for yourself. It's like the fish idea. Give me a thought and you feed me for a day, teach me to think and you feed me for a lifetime. Go learn how to think, not what to think.
I don't believe war is a great thing. I hate war. But I hate dying without ever looking my killer in the eyes even more. This is reality, and the threat is real. Getting Bin Laden, dropping our gaurd and sending daisies to Iraq are not going to stop terrorism. We have to always be fighting terrorism. This war will never end. This is the next level, and we have to learn to live there. But you real thinkers out there don't stop, we have the power keep america great and prevent injustice. And if there is true reason to defy my country, I will. But for now, we are resonsible, and the world's most powerful country, and if we can't eventually bring the whole world peace, no one can.
