No intelligent, rational, decent person is for war
Today, I tip my hat to the one and only Dr. Laura who, in response to a wounded soldier's comments about his family and how they felt about the war, had this to say:
Anybody who doesn’t show absolute respect for what we’re trying to do, who’s using Iraq and Afghanistan and all the rest of this simply for political power, are becoming more and more like Al Qaeda and Taliban in their thinking. And that’s what I watch when I see Republicans, sub-Republicans, Democrats, sub-Democrats, all of this fighting - it’s only for elections and power. It isn’t for what is good for the world or for America. I don’t believe that for a minute! I see people saying the most God-awful things strictly for power.
No intelligent, rational, reasonable, decent person is for war. No intelligent, rational, decent person is for war. But if my father and your fathers didn’t go off to fight World War II, I would have been incinerated in a German concentration camp oven. So I’m very grateful to the guys who didn’t believe in war, but fought it to protect the free world from vile evil. And that is exactly what’s going on now. Militant Islam is vile evil. Every day, they’re blowing up their own people for power. It’s inhuman. And you really believe we shouldn’t stop that?
Should we go to Africa when one tribe tries to eliminate another? It’s funny….some of the same Hollywood types who say we should go to Africa and stop one tribe from eliminating another don’t seem to understand what’s going on in the Middle East. But this gentleman who called, my son, your sons and daughters, your fathers, your brothers, your children, are fighting the good fight. Am I for war? Are you nuts? Who in their right mind would be? But the rest of the world doesn’t necessarily show evidence of being in its right mind.
When I hear pain in a soldier who then says he would go back…do you realize this is a volunteer army, and we have guys re-enlisting to go back three, four times? Because they’re over there and they see the danger, and they know that they’re just watching CNN spin or the New York Times spin-they know what’s going down. They’re watching body parts fly all over the place as one Islamic group kills another Islamic group - men, women, and children.
That's not all Dr. Laura had to say, go read the rest, and pass it on...
