Dazed and Confused

Have you ever...just had one of those days where you wonder what the hell you're doing? Ever been in a situation where you just want to fall to your knees and cry your heart out? Just give up your pain and forget the past? Have you ever wanted to forget all the things that have went wrong, and to forgive those who have wronged you?

Have you?

Yeah, me too. I think we all have. Man, woman, boy, girl, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Hindu, American, Mexican, French, Russian, Indian, Brittish, Canadian, Japanese...

Gender, religion, nationality. None of it matters. Ultimately we are all humans. We all go through the same shit on varying scales. We all feel joy, we all feel pain, and we all make mistakes.

But we don't take pride in commiting evil. Atleast not normally. If someone does wrong, and they know it, they feel bad about it. If they commit an evil act, and feel no remorse, then their heart must truly be black.

To kill 335 people in cold blood, and not give a damn, takes a truly merciless soul of evil. To murder 3,000 people in cold blood, for no reason other than a religious grudge, takes a truly evil person. To not care what happens to his fellow man, to not care if that they will die to further your own selfish cause, humanity must have left you. To do this, you must be evil.

Osama bin Laden is evil. The Al-Qaeda are evil. And Saddam? Hell! He slaughtered his own people! How's that for someone that should still be in power? Is it possible that these people were good, or had good intentions by their actions?

Has John Kerry given us a clear answer, or a plan for his actions?

No, I didn't think so either.

You just can't disguise evil. There is an aura of blackness, of forboding, of danger, that surrounds such people. Like that guy you see at night, the one that looks at you with a friendly smile, and something in your gut just tells you to stay away.

Do you know what I'm saying? Yes, you do. Don't deny it. We all have a gut instinct, a sixth sense if you will. We all have an inner alarm clock that just signals danger for us. We know what isn't safe for us because our bodies tell us it isn't safe. Surely it knows itself better than even we do.

And surely it knows evil.

And yet you lefties think we should've left Saddam in power, to continue to oppress his people, to rape them, to kill them as he sees fit? Sorry, my conscience won't let me even think of agreeing with you. Sometimes things have to be done. Ousting Saddam was one of them.

Regardless of what people think, the action wasn't an effort to finish what George Bush Sr. started. It wasn't an effort to take control of oil. It wasn't to promote his political campaign. Bush saw the threat that Saddam posed to us, and to his own people, and he saw what needed to be done. And he did it.

We don't need in a leader that will at all hesitate when our country needs action. Why should Bush have waited on the U.N.'s permission to attack Afghanistan? When someone hits you, and they have a knife to your throat, do you call the police and wait for them to get there when it's in your own ability to handle the situation? If you wait for the police, you could die waiting, or even while you're still dialing the number on your cellphone. Can you say you'd take that risk?

I wouldn't. I'd have my knee in his groin. I'd grab my own knife, or wrest his away from him, and I'd take him out however I could. You don't face a threat and just dance around like a snowman on a hot street. If you can take action, and protect yourself and others, then you don't need anyone's permission for that.

Do you?

I know I sure as hell don't. If someone picks on my brother or sister, I don't hesitate to get in their face. I'm not the most intimidating person, but I can make the best of them back down when they know I'm pissed.

So can America. So why does Kerry seem to think we should let the U.N. decide our actions for us? Why do you liberals believe that? What's wrong with acting first? Hell, if the U.N. is that angry with us anyways, they can go ahead and kick us out. It won't do us any harm.

Of course, it will cut off their source of funds, and cause them to completely buckle under financially.

Swell guys, the U.N. We pay for their antics, and all they can do is shout jabs at the U.S. and resist our efforts in a time of war during which we could use their support. Where I come from, if someone on your payroll starts bitching and then refuses to work, then they get fired. If I had the authority to do so, I'd remove the U.S. from the U.N. Let them float and sputter for all I care. What are they going to do? Go to war with us for not paying them money? Fuck them.

America needs to stop caring what other's think. We need to learn to stand on our own two feet as Bush has, and do what needs to be done. Bush has done what he felt was right, and you can't be angry with someone for that. No more so than you can be angry with yourself for doing what you percieve as a good deed.

Even if the original reason we went to war wasn't entirely accurate, it doesn't mean we shouldn't have went to war. No WMD? So what? Saddam was a threat to us, to Iraq, and to everyone else. We liberated the Afghan people, we liberated the Iraqi people, and all Bush gets as a thanks from the people here are anti-war protests and lies about his life.

You liberals are really friendly people, you know that? Really friendly. You see, if someone does something nice for someone else, then I think it's only right to atleast thank them and wish them well in their future endeavors. To watch a person fight off a rapist, then help his victem to her feet, and then to walk over to him and spit in his face or slap him, that is just fucking rude. Anyone capable of doing that needs to be incarcerated. I mean, seriously, would they rather the woman have been raped? Would you rather the Iraqi people be oppressed?

I'm still asking for answers, Liberals. Stop pushing Bush around, stop applying him to your excuses, and start answering for yourselves. I will be waiting, as always, for your answers.
