Why do some want to determine why countries and cultures hate us? If that reason is found, would the next logical step be to change who we are? America is America. This is a fact that will not change. Some people hate us for who we are, this too is a fact that will not change. To daydream about what we as a country can do to change these two facts is futile. Another fact – there are people out there that hate us so much that they are determined to destroy as many of us as possible. We will not be able to stop them or persuade them towards peace. The only way to stop them is to destroy them, not just the temporary use of force , but the complete destruction of those who would harm us. This sounds barbaric, but in a world that only is persuaded by deadly force, it is the only way. Historically, peace is not found by negotiations, peace is only found through the use of overwhelming force. Take for example, World War II. Peace was attempted by negotiations and overlooking aggression. Peace was found after those who sought world dominance were destroyed or surrendered.
I hear those that say that the President lied about the threat that Saddam Hussein posed towards us. They say that the weapons that he used against his own people no longer exist. They seem to think that Saddam found Jesus and turned from his wicked ways and destroyed those weapons for 12 years. He just didn’t want to show the inspectors the proof. Of coarse he would have never hid them in the vast dessert that is the size of California, or gave them to his neighboring countries that are also bent on destruction. And perish the thought that he sold them to people that are determined to destroy Americans. No not this man. He was a loving man who was passionate and fair to his people. And oh how heart broken were his people when he was removed from power.
I find it quite sad that so many people want to stick their heads in the sand and not face the reality of this mortal world in which we live in. I almost think that they have their mindsets in the fantasy world of Star Track. Where the world loved each other and there wasn’t any hatred and that we evolved from such a barbaric society.
Again facts are facts. No matter how you look at it, the reality is still present. We as a people can unite or succumb to those who are filled with hate.
