This is Sarah's b/f Kevin Herrick, President of the McNeese State
>University College Republicans. So you think we should not attack Iraq?
>Then propose a better solution to get rid of the tons of chemical and
>biological weapons Saddam Hussein has under his control. What evidence
>would it take for you liberals to finally understand we are dealing with a
>madman. He has gassed his own people to the tune of 1.5 million and
>provides safe havens for members of Al Qaeda. This is all common knowledge
>and has been proven. Yes innocent people will probably die, that is a sad
>part of war, but the risk of inaction is much greater than the risk of
>action. Do we need to wait for a mushroom cloud to be over the sky of a
>major American city? That would be too late. This madman has violated 16 UN
>resolutions over the past decade and violated the treaty he put his
>signature on when we defeated Iraq in the Gulf War. That alone is grounds
>for a preemptive strike. Luckily, we have a president in the White House
>who understands the clear and present threat posed by Hussein. If liberals
>were in charge we would have open borders and never would have attacked the
>Taliban or Al Qaeda. Do you think our great president's national security
>team has information the public does not? Of course they do. To know this,
>simply look at the votes by Dick Gephardt and Tom Daschle. All of a sudden
>Senator Daschle decides to support the resolution authorizing President
>Bush to use force if necessary, he obviously found out something we do not
>know. And where were all the screaming liberals in October of 1993 when
>Clinton decided to send troops into Mogadishu, Somalia for no reason
>whatsoever. Where were the Democrats in 1998 when Ex-President Clinton
>talked of a preemptive strike on Iraq? They were right behind him. Sadly,
>the Democrats have no principle to stand on, only politics. For the United
>States not to attack and stop this brutal dictator would be ignorant and
>oblivious to the facts right in our face. Do you think the world would be a
>better place without Hussein? Of course it would. There is only one way to
>remove dictators such as him, military force. He does not understand
>negotiating or giving his people freedom. We have no other option than to
>remove him, or suffer the consequences. In the words of Tony Blair, "We
>must defeat it, or be defeated by it." Which is 100% correct. I hope this
>will shed some light into your understanding of national defense and the
>role of American military. We MUST NOT allow such a person to execute his
>ideas, for it could mean the death of someone in one of our families, a
>loved one or even ourselves. Thank you.
