Cindy Sheehan Undone

Have any of President Bush’s critics ever studied how many years of “gorilla” resistance the Allies had to endure after Germany and Japan formally surrendered? 1,800 deaths is 1/25th the number of Americans killed each year in traffic accidents. Are war critics proportionately concerned about highway safety? 1,800 deaths is 1/3 the number of US soldiers killed in a single training exercise preparing for D-Day. Not even combat fatalities and all on just one day. Saddam is estimated to have killed approx. 1,800 Iraqi civilians every month over his 35-year reign. How quickly they’ve forgotten those victims. Based on 2003 statistics, there were approx. 1,800 homicides in California alone. Does that mean that for someone to favor the apprehension of (those) killers, he/she must become an LA cop? And where is the daily wrenching of emotion for those brave officers?

Yes, 1,800 soldiers matter, one soldier matters, but giving Iraq a chance to become a bull work for Freedom in the heart of Middle East is worth it. And yes, if my boys chose to enlist, I’d support them 100% and would honor their contribution if they were to die. But the whole premise, that one’s support of US foreign policy is not legitimate, unless you’ve either served in the military or would be willing to sacrifice your own children, is bullshit.

The same Liberals who chastise Bush’s military record gave a pass to Clinton. Democrats, who never before supported the Military, now keep a daily body count. Lefties who grew up supporting “freedom fighters” now pay only lip service to the millions of brave Afghans and Iraqis facing down Islamo fascists. I’ll bet most liberals don’t know even one American soldier or anyone who has a son or daughter serving much less one who’s died in Iraq. My guess is that their primary fixation with the daily body count is solely to demoralize American public opinion in the hope that Bush will lose his resolve and withdraw; Iraq will fail and thereby provide a political opportunity for Democrats to regain power. If I’m wrong, then what’s their plan for installing Democracy in Iraq and how’s it gonna be better than Bush’s? Its one thing to criticize and another to offer constructive ideas.

You Liberals really gotta stop watching CNN.

As to ideas, how about this one: If the Left wants to insist, that everyone who supports American Policy in Iraq enlist or shut up, then why not require those who protest our Iraq policy, to accept taxation without representation or shut up? If denying Liberals an opportunity to vote sounds ridiculous – then one can see how the Left's new “moral authority” test sounds to the majority of Americans who just re-elected Mr. Bush.
