Yet another great email..

What a difference 60 years makes!

I know everyone has a different opinion on the war
and our current President. But, this article makes a lot of sense, and I hope you will take 2 minutes and read it and give it some thought.
I have never seen the "situation" expressed any better in words!
Recently I was talking to a friend about the upcoming election and
the candidates. As we ended our discussion he said "the only decision you have to make
is who you want sitting in that seat in the White House when - not if - WHEN we get hit again and millions of American lives are put at risk!"

President Bush did make a bad mistake in the war on terrorism.
But the mistake was not his decision to go to war in Iraq

Bush's mistake came in his belief that this country is the same
one his father fought for in WWII. It is not.

Back then, they had just come out of a vicious depression.
The country was steeled by the hardship of that depression, but they still believed
fervently in this country.  They knew that the people had elected their leaders, so it
was the people's duty to back those leaders.

Therefore, when the war broke out the people came together, rallied behind, and
stuck with their leaders, whether they had voted for them or not or
whether the war was going badly or not.

And war was just as distasteful and the anguish just as great then
as it is today.  Often there were more casualties in one day in WWII than we
have had in the entire Iraq war. But that did not matter. The people stuck with the
President because it was their patriotic duty. Americans put aside their differences in
WWII and worked together to win that war.
Everyone from every strata of society, from young to old pitched in.

Small children pulled little wagons around to gather scrap metal for the
war effort. Grade school students saved their pennies to buy stamps for war bonds to
help the effort.

Men who were too old or medically 4F lied about their age or condition
trying their best to join the military.
Women doubled their work to keep things going at home. Harsh rationing of
everything from gasoline to soap, to butter was imposed, yet there was very
little complaining.

You never heard prominent people on the radio belittling the President.
Interestingly enough in those days there were no fat cat actors and
entertainers who ran off to visit and fawn over dictators of hostile countries
and complain to them about ourPresident. Instead, they made upbeat films and entertained
our troops to help the troops' morale. And a bunch even enlisted.

And imagine this: Teachers in schools actually started the day off
with a Pledge ofAllegiance, and with prayers for our country and our
troops!

Back then, no newspaper would have dared point out certain weak spots
in our cities where bombs could be set off to cause the maximum damage.
No newspaper would have dared complain about what we were doing to catch spies.

A newspaper would have been laughed out of existence if it had complained that
German or Japanese soldiers were being 'tortured' by being forced to wear women's
underwear, or subjected to interrogation by a woman, or being scared by a dog or did not
have air conditioning.

There were a lot of things different back then. We were not subjected to
a constant bombardment of pornography, perversion and promiscuity in
movies or on radio. We did not have legions of crackheads, dope pushers and armed gangs
roaming our streets.

No, President Bush did not make a mistake in his handling of terrorism.
He made the mistake of believing that we still had the courage and
fortitude of our fathers. He believed that this was still the country that our fathers
fought so dearly to preserve.

It is not the same country. It is now a cross between Sodom and Gomorra
and the land of Oz. We did unite for a short while after 9/11, but our
attitude changed when we found out that defending our country would require some
sacrifices.

We are in great danger. The terrorists are fanatic Muslims.
They believe that it is okay, even their duty, to kill anyone who will not convert
to Islam. It has been estimated that about one third or over three hundred million Muslims
are sympathetic to the terrorists cause... Hitler and Tojo combined did not have
nearly that many potential recruits. So... We either win it - or lose it - and you
ain't gonna like losing. 

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!

 
AMERICA IS NOT AT WAR. THE MILITARY IS AT WAR.
AMERICA IS AT THE MALL.
 
GOD, PLEASE BLESS OUR AMERICA!!
