11/01: Why We Fight.
One thing that I keep hearing over and over again is "Why is America even over in Afghanistan and Iraq?" We've been accused of trying to expand our territory through our "imperialism" to wanting the oil for our own greedy purposes. It never comes to anyone's mind that we are over there because of justice.
Yes, I know, we Americans are not perfect and there are many blemishes and mistakes in our past, but that does not absolve us of our duty to help those who are in need of help and to defend ourselves from an enemy foreign or domestic. The United States of America is in those two countries trying to help those people by defeating the enemy that held them enslaved for so many years.
We should let the politicians and the government sort out the issue, right? The military cannot setup a government, right? Well, in the American Civil War, the Confederacy had been defeated and that mindset was used. The Union Army pulled out and the politicians went in. They were called carpet baggers who brought corruption and misery to the people of the South.
You must setp a government the way the people want it setup and you've got to have honest people doing it. I am sorry for the civilians who have been killed over in the deserts and I do not want to sound callous, but that's war. SHow me a true war in the history of humanity that did not have civilian casualties. We are trying to help. I wish I could tell you how honest I mean that. I wish people would quit looking at the military with skepticism every time we try to help and think we have an ulterior motive. Yes, someone could have a motive, but not all of us.
If we did not interfere, those countries would still be in the stable misery with no hope. We may have messed up the balance, but now the Iraqis and the people of Aphganistan have a glimmer, that one day they will be free and to choose what they want to do, support US ideals or not. That will be there choice, but right now, we cannot just leave and force them to figure it out on their own.
We should help and use our constitution as a blue print till they are ready to design there own.
Give us a chance.
