A NEW YORKER ON IRAQ!

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Tuesday February 04, 2003 10:02author by John Gerard Keeney Report this post to the editors

A New York view on the Iraq crisis!

It is curious that the so-called "anti-war" and
"peace" demonstrators around the world never mention
one word about the real violator of human rights,
Saddam Hussein. Actually, that is putting it lightly.
Hussein consistently rapes and pillars his own people
and has demonstrated a skilled propensity to invade
his neighbors, as long as they have an abundance of
oil. This particular fact really makes me laugh when
liberals speak of George Bush in terms of a tycoon in
search of global domination. Nelson Mandela even
insisted that he is attempting to bring back a
holocaust!! The insanity truly goes on and on.

Why in the world would any American President seek
more land...in the Middle East no less!! Yes, Iraq has
been holding hostage the world's fair supply of oil.
Once Iraq realized its total defeat in the first
Persian Gulf War, it set fire to an immense amount of
oil fields in Kuwait, its intended target. That
country recovered from the invasion and the infernos
largely as a result of Americas support, aid and
continued presence there and Saudi Arabia (a major
reason why Al Queda attacked on 9/11). However, oil
constitutes a tiny percentage of the war quotient.
Anybody who truly believes that President Bush would
place one American life at risk just for oil is
completely blinded by hatred of the American
administration and cannot be debated with in the first
place.

Actually, plenty of the "anti-war" demonstrators are
not against war at all. If they were, they would speak
out against the Fundamentalist Muslim violence in
places like the Sudan and Pakistan. Christians in
those countries are murdered on a daily basis by the
Muslim majority, in order to dominate and bring
non-Muslims to extinction. Or even against Saddam
himself! (Oh, I forgot, he's a victim of America's
aggression...GASP!!). Maybe these groups might want to
demonstrate against the suicide bombers in Israel?
Nah, I guess not. They just don't like Bush, so they
protest his just international policies. Very easy to
do, and very trendy.

Never forget, it is usually very easy to ridicule
those who are strong in the face of adversity. The
world, and especially the desperate people of Iraq,
are in need of new leadership. Surviving families of
Hussein's political opponents would verify that
assertion, if granted the opportunity to speak.

America is not picking and choosing governments to gun
down for its own interest. It risked many lives to
take down Milosevic in Kosovo. I won't go through the
number of innocent people he murdered. Educated,
informed opinions suggest that Hussein makes Milosevic
look like a girl scout.

George Bush will go down as one of the strongest
leaders this nation has ever known. That's my personal
opinion. He has exhibited determination, yet an
abundance of patience. He is prepared to strike, and
he has prepared and informed the free world, with the
amazing support of his appointed leaders (Condeleeza
Rice, Donald Rumfseld, Colin Powell and Dick Cheney).
Iraq knows it is coming. Their government has chosen
this route because they refuse to change. Ultimately,
citizens there will be able to live under no threats
of cruelty.

Did I mention weapons of mass destruction or the
desire of Iraq to hand them over to terrorists?

Eh, whatayagonnado??

Those Marines, etc.: GET HOME SAFE!!!!
