Heaven's Cloud Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 [color=indigo]Before I begin, let me remind you that I am twenty-two years old. I am a young man out of college, I am healthy, have no disabilities, no impairments with the exception of my less then stellar vision, and I have plenty of male cousins that could carry on my family name. I am a prime candidate for the draft, and I am scared to death of the fact that I may be headed into war. With that being stated, I fully support entering into a war with Iraq. I am not a greedy American. I do not wish war on Iraq because I covet their oil. I am not a stupid, uninformed American. I do not wish to enter a conflict in Iraq because of my undying faith in our politicians. I do believe, however, that I have a shred of American pride, a sense of freedom that was hard fought for by my fore fathers, and I believe it is time we allowed the people of Iraq to reestablish their sense of Iraqi-pride. I believe that it is time for us to lend our assistance to the Iraqi people so they are able to live their lives without the constant terror, fear, and persecution of Saddam's regime. I do not believe that the Iraqi people like America, but I do believe they want our help. They crave our help. They need the resources that America can provide, the need the shoulder to lean on that America can lend them. Once the people of Iraq see that America is there to help liberate them from Saddam they will become the soldiers that reclaim their country from two decades of tyranny. The people of Iraq will rise and forget their fear of their cruel leader. They will not have to fear being shot for speaking out against their government. They will not have to fear their children being forced to march to witness public executions. They will not have to fear disappearing because they did not accomplish a glorification ceremony for Saddam in time. And they will not have to fear living their lives without understanding the god given right of freedom. The shadow of World War two has still not passed from this world. Are those persecuted and hunted for seeking freedom in Iraq any different then the Jews who were persecuted and hunted only a little more then a half century ago in Europe? America entered World War II too late, an earlier intervention may have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Why should we wait and repeat history, instead of following the old saying and learn from it?[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enishi Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Whats sad about this is that it took a terrorist attack on us to do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
