What is going to have to happen for the left to realize,that protecting American interest at home and abroad?

Question

is important?Not only in the short term but in the future.We all most likely agree that IRAQ has become a mess,but to send the message too others that if things go to chit. America will split it's self, into factions of it's own. As a Republican I can understand some of the LEFTS points. I also know that that fanatics love to see the split that they can cause.As a nation we are sending the message of weakness.There will not be another attack on our soil in the near future.That would be counter productive to their goals.They have managed to do what they set out to do. Split America, show the world our jelly spine. The left has all the good intetions but fail to relize the message they have sent. The price will be paid for years to come. So in closing I would ask all conservitives and moderates to pay close attention to the up coming elections,go to your polls and be heard. The future of our GREAT country depends on it.

Answer 1

The premise of your question is that the left doesn't feel that protecting American interests is important.

This premise is flawed, since leftists do care about protecting American interests (It's our primary motivator, actually), and as a result there is no answer to your question.

Answer 2

It does not protect the American interest in the short or long term here or abroad to create a rally flag for the terrorists by waging a war against a nation that had a leader that came down hard on religious extremists.

We created a power vacuum that religious extremists were more than happy to fill.

By our actions in Iraq, we are recruiting terrorists for the terrorists faster than we can kill them.

If the Republicans were interested in a united front against terrorism, they should have stuck with going after the terrorists and killing them instead of destabilizing a government that already had a lid on terrorists.

Answer 3

Sadly, they miss the point. The problem is they do not understand that there is a significant and long-term repercussion to a premature and politically motivated withdrawl from Iraq. They do not see that pressing forward for victory in Iraq is in our national interest.

For a group that's overly concerned about what other countries think of us, the fact is that a cowardly withdrawl as advocated by the Democrats would diminish us in the world's eye, especially those that have been behaving nicely due to fears of US retaliation, and, even worse, have those who support anti-terrorism start hedging their bets due to lack of will in the US.

They do not understand that it would make the world more dangerous, and the terrorists more bold, and would be devastating to the innocent Iraqis who would suffer the most.

Answer 4

I don't like either canadate really, but McCain, to me (if he chooses a good VP) will protect American interests better. I also believe that he is more equipped to lead us out of the current recession. Obama could be a good president, one day, but not now.

Answer 5

Maybe we should do like Iraq, and show that 100% of americans support Bush, just like 100% of Iraqis voted for Saddam...you didn't actually believe that 100% of Iraqis voted for Saddam, did you? You could see right through that right? It shows that democracy is alive and well, and that we have freedom of speech, and a right to speak out against the government. I would say that at home, elected officials calling all dems 'terrorists' has done more to divide this country. and I will NEVER understand how that is american...

Answer 6

Every time the left has been in power, America has shown itself weak. Example: When George Bush I was defeated in 1992 by Clinton, Saddam Hussein threw a very televised party. Every time the left is in power, the enemies of the U.S. rejoice. Moreover, it's uncanny how the left tends to sympathize with the enemy more often than not (by "enemy," I refer to those peoples who think that ALL Americans, regardless of party affiliation, are infidels worthy of death).

It's like the plight of the baby harp seals. They are young and trusting, so they willingly approach the hunters who come to bash their brains and take their skins. That is a picture of the liberal left in America.

I agree with you and, in times like this, I fear for the future of this country, if the dems win in 2008.

Answer 7

You realize that Bush's speeches about Iraq are almost exactly like LBJ's about Vietnam, right? Back then, we were warned that, if we pulled out, Communism would spread EVERYWHERE and it would be the end of the world! 50,000 dead Americans later, we leftToday Communist China is our largest trading partner and Bush has been working on a trade agreement with Vietnam.

This from our own US government Security Archives:

U.S. DOCUMENTS SHOW EMBRACE OF SADDAM HUSSEIN IN EARLY 1980s
DESPITE CHEMICAL WEAPONS, EXTERNAL AGGRESSION, HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES

Fear of Iraq Collapse in Iran-Iraq War Motivated Reagan Administration Support; U.S. Goals Were Access to Oil, Projection of Power, and Protection of Allies;
Rumsfeld Failed to Raise Chemical Weapons Issue in Personal Meeting with Saddam

This war is about oil. We get oil from Mexico, Canada and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has plenty of oil but is pretty insecure. Mexico and Canada have limited oil.

Answer 8

how about a nuke in Hollywood ?
There are 2 ways to get a lib to pay attention, hit him in the wallet or in the voting booth.
An Islamic Nuke in Hollywood would do both.

Of course they'd blame Bush.

Answer 9

I would submit that if terrorists truly hate our freedom, then they would commend George Bush for repealing so many of them in the form of USA Patriot and the suspension of habeous corpus, spying on citizens, reading our mail. . .
