They Just Don't Get It

I'm getting a little tired of hearing from John F-enheimer Kerry, JohnBoy Edwards and the rest of the anti-defense crowd that the Iraq War was wrong because Sadam did not attack us on September 11, 2001. It may or may not be technically true, but it misses the point. The lesson most rational Americans have learned from September 11th is that we cannot wait until terrorists (not just Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda) attack us before we take them out. WE ARE AT WAR against people who want to kill us. They don't care who, when, where or how. As I pointed out in a recent blog, there is now evidence that Sadam was very much involved with al Qaeda well before September 11, 2001. The 9/11 Commission didn't seem to have trouble grasping the concept.

The Democrats and Leftists who are attacking the President and the War on Islamofascism are more concerned with grasping power for themselves than they are for the safety of America. The don't get it and, I believe, they don't want to get it. They are blinded by their own lust for power and hatred of the man they believe "stole" it from them. America cannot afford to have people like that running the country. This is a turning point in American history. We must either fight the War we must fight in order to survive, or we will face the inevitable collapse of our way of life and, perhaps, of Western civilization. This may sound a bit dark, but if you're going to play in the game you have to know the stakes -- and they couldn't be higher.
