Let's see. The revived Russian Bear is on the move against our allies in eastern Europe and the Caucasus and the Chinese Communists are cheating at the Olympics. (Imagine that.) Islamofascism is back on its heels, but still a threat and advancing their cause in the West with characteristic patience. Iran continues to threaten Israel and the West with possible nuclear weapons. Mexico continues its invasion across our southern border and I see no evidence that that threat is being taken seriously in our government. Despite the fact that oil supply/demand margins are still too slim for comfort, our Democrat controlled congress is refusing to entertain the thought of exploring and drilling for our own vast reserves, or using the massive amounts of coal at our disposal, or building nuclear reactors, or anything that might work to help us reduce our dependence on foreign oil.
We continue to support regimes that hate us and wish every day for our demise. Many of us refuse to believe that this is a dangerous world, ruled by the agressive use of force. If we stand by and let evil regimes exercise force without answer, then evil will stand and good will fail.
The world is on the edge. What did it feel like in Americal in 1939 - 1941 before Pearl Harbor? Was it a feeling similar to this? Everything's fine, just ignore what's going on in Europe and Asia . . . just before we were plunged into an Apocalyptic World War?
How many millions of lives were lost or ruined by WWII? How many if we had not fought and defeated the NAZI's, Fascists, and Imperial Japanese? Just remember, they were doing a fine job of eliminating state enemies and undesirables, and stealing their individual wealth prior to the U.S. entering the war.
If we do not strengthen our nation and our resolve; if we do not stop this silly notion of moral equivalency between Christianity and Islam, between Democracy and Communism/Socialism, between the U.S. ridding the world of the evil dictator Saddam Hussein and Russian imperialist aggression in Georgia; if we fail to recognize evil when we see it and face it down when it raises its ugly head in the world, then I believe that War is inevitable. Because evil is encouraged by weakness. Weakness gives way to aggression. If we are weak and unresolved, if we fail to stand up for goodness and right, we will be on the losing end.
