People,
I recently received the chain e-mail below. Though I am fairly certain the individuals propagating this are well-intentioned, so was an individual named Nevel Chamberlin, who also believed in "peace in our time." Nevel looked at Hitler as a man who could be reasoned with. Nevel never even began to see the true evil of Hitler's plans. Within a decade of Chamberlin's policy of appeasement, over 6,000,000 Jews and other "unclean" people had been put to death by the Nazi regime. Ironically, Chamberlin had no idea that Hitler would use gas on his victims. However, this time, we are dealing with a mad man, who not only rules by terror and tyranny, but he has in fact used chemical gas on both his enemies (the Iranians) and his own people (the Kurds).
So, as you yellow-bellied self-sanctified liberals type away on your computers in reasonable safety, remember that it wouldn't take much for a "dirty bomb" or other chemical disbursement delivery device to be set off in the parking lot of a major sporting event or other large crowd gathering. If you think what happened with the twin towers has horrific, then wait until you hear the horrendous cries of innocent people suffering from nerve gas exposure. Wait until you see the results of human skin coming in contact with blister agents. Wait until terrorists start blowing themselves up on American soil. Most of this will probably be captured by our faithful media in full living (so to speak) color. Maybe, just maybe, you will understand that there are times when war is justified.
There is an old saying that “those who do not study history are doomed to repeat its mistakes.” If you have never heard, or understood, the story of Nevel Chamberlin and Adolph Hitler, I urge you to search the internet and do some investigating. The situation unfolding today is very similar to what happened so many years ago. However, this time we are much more prepared to deal effectively with the threat.
On a personal note, as a veteran with over 18 years of military service, I can’t say that I am eager to see people die. Military people always prepare for war and pray for peace. That said, if I am called, I will answer. I have taken an oath, a sacred vow to defend my country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Most of you, who have never had the honor to serve your country will never fully understand this concept. Again, I hope that you can continue to live your lives in relative peace and security. In the mean time, you can take all your petty little war protests and shove them where the sun doesn’t shine! Go join the French for all I care. They have been stomped twice by evil forces. And twice we have had to save their buts. I really wouldn’t mind seeing them get trashed again just to snap them out of their arrogance. At the very least, maybe they should tour the graves of the thousands of Americans who gave their lives to liberate that country.
If military action is taken, I don’t expect to see “thousands of Americans coming back in body bags” as Sadam Hussein has threatened. I expect that you will see the surgical precision of the previous Gulf War, with many improvements (as we have had over a decade to improve our technology). We are not going after civilians (like Sadam Hussein has), we are going to neutralize his fighting capability… by whatever means it takes. Get a clue, get a life! Study history and learn something. I will leave you with the words of our last 5-star general, Douglas MacArthur… "For history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where the end has justified that means-where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands, until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only alternative." - General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur >

west bend, wi.
i too am a veteran and served my country as a youth (the best as i knew how)... as an adult, after doing my time and seeking the hard earned answers (because you don't see them in the corporate controlled media) i have weighed many sides, read the constitution, consulted my conscience and decided that war is merely greedy people looking to line their own pockets! they buy, use and own the media as a fear inducing manipulative propaganda machine used to make public opinion then exploit it for their greedy self interests... ie; oil, strategic positioning, war profits... it was the c.i.a. and george bush senior who overthrew the previous government of iraq (murder) and put this present regime in power (corruption), supplied him with all of his weapons of mass destruction with instructions to use them against iran (the enemy of the u.s. at the time) in the 1980's (crimes against humanity). if the u.s. government was really all about peace and democracy we would have an elected leader and the world woud have peace! there are just too many americans who believe the corporate sponsored crooks... waving a flag and rooting for our team (as if it was us the u.s.) against the enemy of the moment (the other team as in sports). real democracy and real patriotism is work! it is our job as global citizens to expose the corruption, change the government and make it a more honest representation FOR the people. i feel better about serving humanity than g.w. bushes corporations and the wealthy elites! how many innocent people have to die for war profits? for greed? for opening new territory to corporations? to control oil? if you just happened to be born over there instead of in the west, what would you do when the bombs start falling? when the dieing starts? when your family members become just the days body count? as in Afghanistan... and so many of the other u.s. sponsored & backed wars around the globe. peace to you all, if this stirs up anger perhaps do some research both inside and out. whom would jesus bomb?

It was hell going in right after RFK was assassinated( following the Clumsy cover up by the LAPD ) and thinking all the time 'Just let me survive this and I'll never let it happen again if I can help it' as a never ending mantra. Sometimes it worked. I made it. Now I'm keeping a promise.

I strongly agree with the statement that you protesters are just actors. Russell Crowe played a paranoid schizophrenic in a movie and the media interviewed as to the insight of this mental disorder. Please.... Martin Sheen played in Apocalypse Now so that makes him an expert on war? Please..... You people need to get a life. Try reading history. I've read if you don't pay attention to history you are bound to repeat it. Let's hope we don't have concentration camps in Beverly Hills. I'm afraid some of our experts won't be able to stand the pressure.

Why can't foolish men lay down?
If our freedom is only won through the Armed Forces, why then is that I have MLK on my wall?
Fighting in war doesn't entitle one to a monopoly on freedom.
But, knowing that a large percentage of enlistment think "in the box," (linear thinkers), I am continually impressed by the amount that can tackle an abstract concept like "freedom."
Bravo, hack.

Non-Violence is indeed an effective tactic - but only in countries that are ruled by a government in which a moral conscience prevents use of lethal force against the protestors.
Gandhi would not have been able to make salt in Nazi Germany - or Iraq.

For you folks out there in favor of this war... ignorantly believing that terrorism is the root of all evil..please let not irrationality and your filthy fake feelings of patriotism destory humanity...use your brains and love for life for once.
Terrorism...it is an ideology not something tangible...we can't kill terrorism...by murdering millions of people (and taking their oil while we're at it). To do away with terrorism..we must alleviate people from poverty, oppression, and repression...all and some in part imposed by our very own economic and military policies abroad. Let's take responsibility instead of creating a ficitious evil which we can't defeat. Let's make this world a better place by creating a better place. Let's not talk of war and make war in which humanity cannot win.
Let's not compromise civil liberty. Let's not buy into proganda. Americans haven't you heard and seen what the rest of the world think of us? Wake up..it's not too late.

"... ignorantly believing that terrorism is the root of all evil.."
Hardly. Terrorism is a manifestation of evil.
"...we can't kill terrorism...by murdering millions of people...'
Millions? Count again.
"To do away with terrorism..we must alleviate people from poverty, oppression, and repression...all and some in part imposed by our very own economic and military policies abroad. "
No, to do away with terrorism requires educating people that blowing up innocent people is not a valid form of political expression. The rest of your sentence? The old "we deserved it" song and dance. Would you think we deserved it if someone you knew and loved died in the Towers, the Pentagon, or a Pennsylvania field?
"Let's take responsibility instead of creating a ficitious evil which we can't defeat. Let's make this world a better place by creating a better place. Let's not talk of war and make war in which humanity cannot win."
We are not responsible for creating terrorism. The evil is not fictitious; it walks the earth and wants to kill people for no other reason than their religion or their nationality. The rest of that sentence is nothing more than idealistic well-wishing wich solves absolutely nothing.
"Let's not compromise civil liberty. Let's not buy into proganda. Americans haven't you heard and seen what the rest of the world think of us? Wake up..it's not too late."
And why should we care what the world thinks of us? Since when is popularity more important than doing the right thing? I'd rather be right than popular.
