Maybe there isn't any and its stupid to try. The country (and the world) gave the administration the support spoken about in the piece when we went into Afghanistan. Many people believe that this administration has been inept. The piece forwarded below speaks of sacrifice. It was the administration itself that told everyone to go shopping a couple years back. If this is the central struggle of our time, why isn't there a draft? Why aren't we actually sacrificing anything? Tax cuts while we dump 2 trillion in a rat hole? How about at least a gasoline tax to help pay for this and slow down consumption of a resource that has all our money going to the mideast in the first place. Is it my patriotic duty to stand by and watch while a grossly incompetent administration bungles one job after another, and then hands medals to the bunglers? Why are Christians making light of torture? I don't understand this. Weren't we the good guys? Wasn't that central to what really did make us better? Do unto others....... I find it disappointing when one side claims to have all the facts, and alarming when that side starts using language suggesting the other side is guilty of treason. When either 'side' acts as if they have the right to ignore the other, especially after gaining the slimmest of majorities, they are acting contrary to principles the nation was founded on. A 51% majority is not a mandate. The other 49% of the population is not going to go away, or be murdered, or perhaps even radically change their minds. The country is a mixture of very different ideas and religions, all working toward some common good. With the slimmest of majorities this administration has moved aggressively in an attempt to solidify the power of one party in an effort to build a lasting majority. Now I would guess if you were a member of that majority, you might approve. But is that how this democracy is supposed to work? This administration has manipulated the population's patriotism in an attempt to rally support to a neocon agenda that many believe is radical. After 911, Bush had the support of the entire country in his prosecution of the 'war' on terror. But many people believe he detoured from that battle in two important ways. First, he seemed to use 911 as an excuse to get suckered into the neocon fantasy of using American military might to reshape the world. Second, many believe this effort was prosecuted in a grossly incompetent manner.

And what will the people do when the foreign cultures impose restrictions on our liberty? Reverse our inalienable rights? It's not going to be pretty unless we stop them NOW at the ballot box. Nico www.faithmugs.com Subject: Looking Back Subject: Interesting insights One of the best points of view that I have heard on the current political situation concerning the war on terror. "You ain't gonna like losing." Unfortunately, Author unknown President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism. But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq . Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same one his father fought for in WW2. It is not. Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression. The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed fervently in this country. They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it was the people's duty to back those leaders. Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or whether the war was going badly or not. And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great as it is today. Often there were more casualties in one day in WW2 than we have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in WW2 and worked together to win that war. Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in. Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to help the effort. Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition trying their best to join the military. Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very little complaining. You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President. Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries and complain to them about our President. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted! And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off with a Pledge of Allegiance and with prayers for our country and our troops! Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage. No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies. A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not have air conditioning. There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crack heads, dope pushers and armed gangs roaming our streets. No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism. He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers fought so dearly to preserve. It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorrah and the Land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would actually require some sacrifices. We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims. They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert to Islam. It has been estimated that about one-third or over three hundred million Muslims are sympathetic to the terrorists cause...Hitler and Tojo combined did not have nearly that many potential recruits. So...we either win it - or lose it - and you ain't gonna like losing. America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the Mall. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- 9/2007 7:27 AM http://www.matronics.com/contribution http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Commander-Listhttp://forums.matronics. com http://www.matronics.com/contributionhttp://www.matronics.com/Navigator?C ommander-Listhttp://forums.matronics.com ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:51:59 AM PST US Subject: Commander-List: Re: No Title From: "N395V" > This administration has manipulated the population's patriotism in an attempt to rally support to a neocon agenda that many believe is radical.

Steve; if you're interested in the history of what happens when the attitudes you espouse prevail, look to Neville Chamberlain as your mentor: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/chamberlain_arthur_neville.sht ml His policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler culminated in the Munich Agreement in which Britain and France accepted that the Czech region of the Sudetenland should be ceded to Germany. Chamberlain left Munich believing that by appeasing Hitler he had assured 'peace for our time'. However, in March 1939 Hitler annexed the rest of the Czech lands of Bohemia and Moravia, with Slovakia becoming a puppet state of Germany. Five months later in September 1939 Hitler's forces invaded Poland. Chamberlain responded with a British declaration of war on Germany. Appeasment doesn't work, it didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with Muslim extermeists, in fact they are much worse than Hitler because unlike Hitler, they believe it a great honor to die while killing us infidels.

Swede was kind enough to sit in my 685 with me and teach me a million things I did not know. As mentioned he has new wings now and certainly has flown to a better place. -------- Milt 2003 F1 Rocket 2006 Radial Rocket Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=146508#146508 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 08:23:24 PM PST US From: John Vormbaum Subject: Re: Commander-List: Swede Ralston Jim, I was very sorry to read this email.
