War– What is it Good For?

.
(1)  our country’s independence

(2)  the abolition of slavery and the unification of our country

(3)  the liberation of much of Western Europe from Hitler’s regime and the end of Nazi genocide against Jews

(4)  the downfall of the totalitarian communist Soviet Union

(5)  the liberation of Kuwait from Iraq

(6)  the overthrow of the Taliban in Afghanistan

(7)  the liberation of Iraq from the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein

…to name a few.

War is disgusting, but necessary.  Not all conflict can be resolved by negotiation, because you cannot indefinitely appease those who hate you and seek to destroy your way of life.

Islamic terrorists will not stop their jihad until we think as they think, believe as they believe — live as they live.

If you value your freedom, then see this global terrorist movement for what it is:  evil.  And remember that evil must be confronted with force, because no level of negotiation is going to change its nature.
