Subject: [Culturechat] President Bush, Iraq and the Holy War against =
America
I think we are missing the most important reason for taking down Irag. =
No it's not oil. Oil is only a matter of money. If Iraq had complied =
with UN (not American) sanctions they would be selling about 4 =
million barrels of oil per day ( 5% of world demand). No it is not about =
President Bush trying to make up for his fathers failure. In 1991 the UN =
resolution ONLY called for the removal of Iraq from Kuwait which they =
brutally invaded and destroyed. Today, America is facing a JIHAD, a =
holy war by Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorists. They want to destroy the =
will of Americans to resist so they can create an Islamic Empire akin to =
what existed in the 13th Century. In carrying out Jihad, you either =
convert to Islam or you die. Only two things stand in their way. =
Israel, as a democracy, in their midst AND America. They abhor =
democracy. They abhor freedom. ! They abhor all non-Muslims. They have =
contributed to the deaths of thousands of people in America. They =
bombed the World Trade Center twice. They have created thousands of =
widows and orphans here at home and abroad. They hate you and want you =
dead.
They must be stopped or America will not exist as we know it. =
Their worst atrocity was Afghanistan. That is being turned into a =
democracy. The next atrocity and danger is Irag. The end result will be =
a democracy of sorts there. Iran is next and if the Mullahs there are =
overturned, the world is on its way to democracy in the middle east. =
Think in terms of appropriate reaction to all the bombings we have =
endured : Pan Am 103 in 1988, WTC in 1993, Marine Barracks in Lebanon, =
WTC in 2001, Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the USS Cole. We have =
shown considerable restraint in the past. Thank goodness we have a =
President who clearly sees the terrorists for what they are and will do =
something about it. We must and will support him. We must and will =
prevail against the Islamic Fundamentalist Terrorist. Look at what =
Richard Reid had to say at his sentencing yesterday. Wake up to the =
real threat. Al Natkin=20
