It's too bad we (the US) has to work so hard for the "permission" to protect the rest of the world. There's no doubt, the things Powell devulged today, were details best kept to the people making strategic plans when we ultimately go to war. But thanks to the French, German and Chinese boneheads, most of the secrets had to be openned up. Everytime I hear those wimps complaining about going to war a couple thoughts come to mind:
1. What would they be saying when Sadam sends a nuke over and kills their family members and friends. Probably hear things like, "Why didn't GW do something months ago" and "I thought this government of ours was supposed to protect us by defending our freedom!"
2. What would our founding fathers say or more importantly, what would the heros say, who gave up their lives in pursuit of the freedoms that each one of us enjoy. Did they die in vain or is someone going to have enouph balls to stand up and do what needs to be done to take care of the evil, sadistic terrorists. We all have the the responsibility to protect freedom. For some, just standing behind and supporting those who are out there, laying their lives on the line, is doing your part. And, by the way, if you don't like it, you also have the freedom to get the #&!! out. No body is forcing you to stay here.
God Bless America!
