I will be all over the place here.
First you don't believe that the war, is for security of this nation. That they are too far away to be a threat, and its all about oil. If a small terrorist group can do what happened on 9/11, don't you think that given the opportunity to attain technology to get a nuke over here, that Saddam wouldn't do it? I think he would. That is a future threat.
Second, we are allies of Israel. Don't you see the threat to them as being something to be concerned about? How many suicide bombings will it take? We cant ignore it, that's why we are allies. Why create alliances if you don't look after their security also?
Third, I don't really even care about the latest resolution. The earlier resolutions haven't been honored at all, so what makes you think that resolutions do anything at all. The UN is a joke! They are not a responsible authority of the world if they make a resolution and don't in-force it. I myself think we should get out of the UN. The UN is anti US.
Forth, you've talked about a majority rule isn't good politics, and that since the vote was close, that this administration should also represent the folks who didn't vote for him, tried to make him look like a dumb ass, and looked for any little thing to dig up to defame him. Yea right!
What about the promises made by Bush to his supporters to be elected. Those need to be addressed to be credible, or why do campaign platforms even matter?
Let me give you an example. If your party is Socialism, and there was an election with a Socialist, Democratic, and Republican party. And the election went like this: Socialists 35%, Dems 32%, Rep 33%.
Your wildest dream would have come true! Now, would you like it if your party had to represent the nation in a way that represents the out come of the vote in percentages? No!
With your theory, your party would only get to implement approximately one-third of its Agenda! You would be up in arms over this. You would believe that now is your chance to see your party make changes for the better, in your opinion. You would go for that? Now, tell the truth here because this is a tough pill to swallow. You would be in control, but still be a minority when you add the Dems & Rep views together.
The socialist party would do things their way, in my opinion. They wouldn't adopt the views of the other parties. If you believe that, you are being unrealistic.
Chew on those views a little. I look fwd to your response!
