I wouldn't mind being Italian myself as it is my favorite country in Europe for touring. Ah, Roma,
Venezia, Napoli! Any American who doesn't love Italia has got to have rocks in his head.
Nevertheless, this subject thread is all about the American involvement in the Middle East
ostensibly for the purpose of securing oil for the West. We Americans, unlike the Europeans, will
kill and die for oil because it is essential to our life style. Still, that is not what our
involvement in the Middle East is about. We are there because of the threat of terrorism emanating
from that region and from the rogue states that harbor and support the terrorists. Unless and until
you understand this, you will never know what is going on in the Middle East. To think that we are
there for the oil is absurd. Only idiots and liberal ideologues like Mr. Sherman think that.
The Italians and all the other Europeans ought to be there with us fighting the good fight, but the
Europeans have abdicated their world role ever since the conclusion of WW II. And so it falls to the
US, the sole remaining super power in the world, to defend the West from it's enemies. It wouldn't
kill you to be a bit grateful every now and then for what we are doing for you and all the other
Europeans. However, if you want to act like ungrateful children, then that is how we will treat you.
To want to enjoy the good life and yet not pay the price is despicable.
The entire world is on it's way to becoming part of the West. World culture will soon be Western
culture. Only the Moslem World is backward and medieval. They will have to be dragged kicking and
screaming into the Western World. Iraq may well be the beginning of that process. It is too bad that
liberals can't see this. They are dumb and blind to what is occurring in the world.
The absolute worst catastrophe that I can imagine is that the liberals would come to power here in
the US and that we would then withdraw from Iraq and the Middle East with our tails between our
legs. But that will not happen because the American people are not that stupid. You Europeans can
afford to be stupid because you do not have the responsibility for world affairs.
The American involvement in the Middle East is our finest hour. Our victory over Iraq was a God send
and just in the nick of time. Bush II will go down in history, provided he stays the course, as one
of our greatest Presidents bar none. His leadership marks a sea change in American foreign policy.
Bush II and the neoconservatives have saved America and the entire Western world from it's own
nearsighted foolishness.
The liberals are on their way to becoming defunct and extinct and altogether irrelevant. And it will
be good riddance to them too. They have behaved like the treasonous bastards that they are. There
are still a a few good conservative Dems left in the country (Zell Miller of Georgia) but what now
passes for liberalism is an abomination and an insult to the intelligence.
