Why The Protestors Reassure Me We Did The Right Thing In Iraq
"To take no notice of a violent attack is to strengthen the heart of the enemy. Vigour is valiant, but cowardice is vile." --Ancient Egyptian. The Pharaoh Seunsert III. cit. H.R. Hall, Ancient History of the Near East, p. 161.
According to a global poll more people throughout the world would vote for John Kerry over George W. Bush in the upcoming elections. I've often been asked how I could support a President who has the whole world protesting against him.
There is the undeniable fact that no country on earth has freed more people than the United States since WWII. "Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Afghanistan, Grenada, Kuwait, South Korea, the former captive nations of Romania, Bulgaria, the Czechs, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania (all holding elections since the early 1990s), and the other former Soviet republics".
And who has caused the most problems? Who gave us communism, which was the 20th century's greatest killer-killing many more than Hitler himself, who gave us Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini etc? It wasn't the United States; it was Europe, precisely those people that are protesting against the United States.
Furthermore, if you think the current protests against President Bush are bad, you should have seen when Ronald Reagan was in the process of dealing with Russia. There were easily twice as many people against him. And we now know that he was right in doing what he did.
And if you think this particular "American Characteristic" of coming in to save the rest of the world, of knowing when to stand up and do the right thing, of having moral clarity in matters of Foreign Policy, is representative in all Americans, think again. Liberals, precisely those Americans also taking the European side with the Iraq war, were also on the wrong side of history back than. They were the ones that didn't see communism as a threat, who saw it as a good to be supported. They were the ones against Reagan, they were the ones against Vietnam, and they were the ones who usually support the tyrant over freedom.
For example, in all the Iraq war protests do you ever see a mention of the people killed because of Saddam? Do they ever talk about that side of this debate? Saddam was the greatest human rights violator running a country. Everybody else is second. Why no mention of that? It's clear that with the tens of thousands of people dying a year because of Saddam, some being women and children, the war in Iraq is a net gain for human lives. As bad as the accidental innocent human lives are because of the war, they are still less than lives lost under Saddam, yet no mention of that.
And the source of this problem is their moral relativism. Liberals inability to have moral clarity has been the foreign policy downfall of the rest of the world, as well as those in the United States. Is it any wonder that all foreign policy disasters this country has seen have been caused by a liberal Democrat as President? Whether it is the Bay Of Pigs (Kennedy), Vietnam (Kennedy and Johnson), Iran Hostage crisis (Carter) or Somalia (Clinton). Whenever this country has a foreign policy failure, you usually always see a liberal Democrat at the head.
This sounds simplistic but its generalities are there for everyone to see. Liberals, whether in the United States or throughout the world, have been on the wrong side of history so many times that I am inclined to believe that one measure of knowing whether we are doing something right is when these people get pissed off! History has shown that if liberals criticize your foreign policy, chances are you are doing the right thing.
