Continually Amazed...

I've been sitting here for 2 hours now watching todays UN events unfold on TV, and it amazes me how weak our global leaders are. Bush's State of the Union address was a very powerful opener for today's events. Colin Powell, one of the planet's most brilliant and political advisors, gave the best case to date on how the world is being deceived. He brought it down to the most basic level, so that even Gomer Pyle could understand how it effects everyone, and the other countries. Yet the cowards that run the worlds nations sat there, heard teh same information, and are still convinced that inspections are working. It completely amazes me.

These leaders need to get some balls, and stand up to Hussein. Bush made an excellent point in his SOTU address: Every time Europe has let a dictator come to power and threaten society, the situation was not resolved until we stepped in and finished it. They are sticking to their standard method of standing aside and watching as people try to take over, and they're going to watch as our present-day Hitler does the same thing.

Think about that for a second. Hussein has already said that he wants Iraq to be "the security force for the whole Arab nation." How is this not just like Hitler? The only thing the Arabs want is direct control over the holy land, and nothing less than the complete elimination of Israel. Now, don't get me wrong. The Israeli situation sucks, and I hate the way the US handles it. It makes no sense to me how this oppressed people, understanding how much oppression sucks, would then oppress someone else. But are we going to let this get in the way of someone who is MORE destructive?

We're watching the same old Europe over and over again.... the Europe that would rather avoid war at all costs until it is forced to fight, until it's getting it's butt kicked and needs us to come bail it out. This is the same Europe that stood by and watched as Hitler came to power, and LET him take over countries, not even realizing they were screwing themselves. It begs the question: does Saddam need to build Kurdish death camps and send 6 millioin people to the ovens before Europe will finally decide to fight?

We Americans know all too well that sometimes you have to fight for what you believe in. And France has the gall to stand in opposition to us. How many times have we bailed them out from an occupation? They won't change their tune until Saddam invades Paris or something.

I'm done ranting for now. I'm going back to watching cowards run their countries, and thank God that we've got a leader with guts and morals.

  • Hey guys





    A little bit of moderation please ! Where are the proofs ? Powel said that they are too confidential to reveal them. Come on ! And it's not because I am frnech (I am living and working in Ireland), and I am not a pacifist or a war campaigner.


    Everybody know that US need the petrol from Irak, so admit that ! It's a fact that in October an american report said that US need to double importation of petrol in the next 5 years.


    And for the weapons, whay US (and the others by the way) don't start to look at their own arsenal. Imagine tomorrow if americans vote for a new guy turniing dictator.


    He will be happy with all the bombs !


    And last thing, stop this idea about what Europe could be without America. that non sense.

  • Wow, people actually read my blog :).





    I'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one Pascal, and here's why:





    On American Dependance For Oil:


    In Bush's State of the Union speech, Bush pledged something like $5B on fuel-cell research, to all but eliminate our dependance on foreign oil. We're going to take over their oil fields to finance the reconstruction of the country, not to become "imperialistic". Since when has the US EVER occupied a country to take their resources? Name me one instance.





    On Fears of an American Dictator


    Unfortunately, you fail to understand the concept of Democracy, and further the brilliance of the American Democratic System. The possibility of a disctator as president is impossible in our system of government. Why? Because of a little thing called legislative checks and balances. We have 3 branches of government, 2 legislative bodies, and a little thing called Impeachment. Contrary to popular belief, the people still have SOME power left in this country.





    On Where Europe Would Be Without America


    Sorry, but you can't deny the facts. We've bailed Europe out of every single major war. And France has TONS of experience understanding this. The French loathe us, until of course they are occupied again. Dennis Miller said: "[The French] have always been far to reluctant to surrender to the will of their friends and far to reticent to surrender to the will of their enemies." This is a true statement. You can't deny it, and any attempt to do so is ignorant. Just open up your history books.





    Sorry if this ruffles a few feathers, but I'm a lot liek Donald Rumsfeld... I'm not hesitant to tell the truth, even if it hurts. True strength comes from learning from acknowleging and learning from those truths.
