Reply #39: Stick with Kerry's Plan

[GoldenOldie]

This ME war now is more comparable to WWII than Vietnam. George W. Bush did open "Pandora's Box," when he invaded Iraq without the full support of the Nation and the rest of our Allies. After 9-11 the US had sympathy and support even from those nations that did not particularly like us. They supported our entry in to Afghanistan because it was obvious to all that is where the Taliban trained their terrorists and the Saudi 9/11 terrorists came from. When George W. Bush and his PNAC cronies disregarded the generals advice, lied to the UN and the World, he initiated the beginnings of a WWII scenario. Bush's failure to have a Plan for immediately stabilizing Iraq once Saddam was toppled created havoc and further destruction in the cities and towns. Thousands and thousands of innocent civilians , children women, grandmothers, etc., etc, killed both from terrorists and American bombs and bullets. By Bush's failure to protect the Iraqi citizens, he has created thousands more terrorists who will take out their grief and anger against those that harmed them and their loved ones.

Terrorists are now located throughout the world more so than ever before and ready to strike at any time and any place. Terrorism is no longer an isolated problem it has become a world-wide problem affecting all Nations, much like Nazi Germany. It will require Nations coming together for the good of all. Their must be mutual support and respect for each other and the peoples of these Nations must understand that it will take all of us to stand united in the face of terrorism.

This is why I feel that Kerry's plan to renew better relations with our Allies and come together to fight this battle together is the only sound plan that will be effective. We cannot do it alone and it is impossible to ask our present strength of troops to be in continual battle mode.
