Couple of very nice statements are listed here. I really don't believe anyone outright says, "Hey lets draft our young men and women for a war." It is seen as a need for the greater good of our country, our freedoms, and our way of life for us, our family and friends, and our future people growing up and yet to be born.
On the other hand, the draft does push us to support our country in a way that says it means something to us. Look at all the men and women who actually gave their lives for us to establish this nation and have help defend it, or others seeking the same thing we already have helped.
As far as bashing Bush, most people sound like they listen to the media, who never give you the full and true story. There are alot of things that Bush may wish to do, but he has to have the APPROVAL of the congress to do. It just doesn't happen because any ONE president wishes it so. We give our presidents too much credit and too little credit.
As far as Iraqi, and how it is handled. If we had another nation coming to our doorstep to oust a president that was killing our people by the 100's of thousands, and gassing people we would praise them. However, at the same time, we would have those who gained from that leadership who would still be able to cause a great deal of trouble by all the terror they would cause upon the public to help, to enlist terrorist from other nations, and those still in the country. Couldn't you see the havoc hands full of people could cause all across this country to any one nations army if they wanted. Too easy to make them look bad, if they are abiding by any acts of decent warfare.
Shouldn't judge any president in a hard situation like Iraqi. It was never going to be easy helping them. They have been oppressed within and on all sides for well over 30 yrs.
Just a quick statement to the one who is German. I don't believe as many people think of Germans with Hitler in mind. I have lived in Germany for 10 years, and it is one of the few countries I TOTALLY love. The people are awesome, and the culture is something to appreciate. Give some of us more credit than that. Germany has alot to offer.
Agree concerning women. It should be choice only on serving. I think it hurts moral, and it isn't wise as a nation to send the women who have the hardest responbility on the earth to such conflicts. They have and raise our future leaders, professionals, and young responsible men and women of the nation.
Last thought, we are not accountable to the U.N. Whether people want to acknowledge it or not. The U.N. did not create our nation. The U.N. does not exist as any entity that supports the U.S. Period! They are actually more corrupt and supportive of nations that would take away our freedoms, right to own property, right to bear arms, and our rights to live soverign.
Without the support of the U.S. the U.N. would not even exist. We are and have always been the largest contributor. WHY?!
It's sad to see our nation being twisted by the media and all it's lies. Wonder if we ever had UNBIAS media in our lifetime.
That is my say.....at the moment I do support Bush! Not an easy job! Just remember....congress has not only the power to do their own thing, but to stop things he might wish to help us. They have their own agenda too.
