As I envision it, Kaitlyn Mae, someday you will be reading the words above in a travel brochure and who knows, you and some significant other might decide to take the trip. Though I’d advise seeing America first but that’s just me.
In the past month from the date of this entry, Kaitlyn, Iraq and Afghanistan have both signed a constitution, an event met with underwhelming coverage by the media. So I thought I’d tell you all about the events that might well lead to you one day sit and ponder a trip to those countries. Just so you know how it came to be that Afghanistan, which NEVER had a government, and Iraq, which had the infamous despot Saddam Hussein at the helm for the past 20 years, finally got a glimpse of freedom and began the process by the signing of a constitution.
It was because the United States of America marched into those two countries, Kaitlyn, overthrew their horrific despots and then guess what America did? The taxpayers of the United States of America, with smiles on their faces, agreed to underwrite the implementation of democracy and freedom in those countries. The United States of America did NOT, Kaitlyn, take over these countries, kill their citizens, steal their natural resources, and put in place a puppet government that murdered more than it governed. Which is more than I can say about their natural inhabitants before America, Kaitlyn.
We marched into those countries, Kaitlyn, because Afghanistan was governed by a rogue and vicious Muslim sect which allowed Osama Bin Laden and his colleagues to train and prosper in that desolate land. Iraq was governed by the friendly Saddam Hussein and his two genetically deficient sons. Saddam allowed terrorists to live and train in Iraq and after ten years of debates in the impotent UN, the US got sick of this nut and his obvious intentions to inflict mass destruction on America.
All of this stemming from the attacks on America of 9/11 you must understand, Kaitlyn. Before that date, America looked the other way and considered terrorists to be mere unruly “lawbreakers”. Once 3000 of our citizens died we cared a whole lot about Afghanistan and the middle east dictators across the region who were concerned more about oil wealth than any sort of leadership that would benefit the populace.
If travel advertisements like the title of this missive are not available when you are an adult, Kaitlyn, then that might well be because the Democrats won the White House in 2004.
Because there’s a presidential race going on as of this writing and the outcome of it might have great effect on your travel options. If the current president, George W. Bush, wins, then you’ll likely be able to fly that carpet to Baghdad. If his contender, an awful man who puts finger to the wind to decide on the color of underwear, John F. Kerry, wins, than likely there will still be terrorist attacks or, who knows, you might not understand a word of this book as you will speak only Arabic.
I have nothing against the Democratic party in general, Kaitlyn. They are an honorable political group that has served our country well. In fact, Kaitlyn, I myself was a registered Democrat for over thirty years. But the party, in 2004 year of our Lord, is in a difficult situation and I understand that. For in order for the party to regain power they will have to convince the America public that much of what President Bush has done has been bad for the country. The invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan are two very important such actions, as it turns out, and on this the Democratic party must attack the president with a special viciousness. It was President Bush on America’s TV screens across our nation the day it was attacked, Kaitlyn, and Americans, God Bless Them, generally go with the incumbent in times of war.
It’s an awkward position for the Democrat party to be in, Kaitlyn, because most Democrats are decent Americans for God’s sake. Indeed, most of their party’s elected representatives voted to go to war with Iraq. Including John F. Kerry, coincidentally.
Because when push comes to shove neither political party wants harm to come to our country or our citizens. And frankly, Kaitlyn, George W. Bush isn’t the greatest man in the world to have become President. Though he does descend from a line of patriots, including a father who was also President. Dubya is not such a good speaker, Kaitlyn, and does not possess the greatest intellect.
“Some people are born to leadership. Some seek it. Others have it thrust upon them.”
It’s an old saying, Kaitlyn, and in Dubya’s case, he had it thrust upon him. At that point maybe the man’s genes kicked in. He certainly did seek it when he ran for President. A valid argument could be made that the same transition to brilliant leader would have occurred had a Democrat been President on 9/11.
Which doesn’t much matter for the good of the country, because President Bush did what had to be done and two things have resulted from the culmination of events that lead to Dubya’s determined leadership. One, he is the incumbent and so far he has not messed up in Afghanistan and Iraq. Two, in order for the Democrats to regain power they have to convince Americans that he did.
The Democrats certainly aren’t taking the high road, Kaitlyn. They WANT the White House and to get it back, they are reducing themselves to the level of the kooks who live here but hate this country. They are also relentlessly attacking Bush in the most unfair manner I have witnessed in my adult life.
They are accusing the man of being a deserter and demanding dental records for proof of military service. They’ve paid off some shills who lost someone in the attacks of 9/11 and had them go on TV to lament the audacity of the President to use images from that day in his campaign ad. As if the Democrats wouldn’t do the same thing if they had a choice, give me three breaks. They constantly lie and say Bush stole the 2000 election and maybe some day I’ll tell you all about that historic fiasco, Kaitlyn. The truth of it, Kaitlyn, because God knows how the public schools will re-write the history books.
I suppose that if the Democrats do regain the White House they’ll likely continue on the same path as President Bush. Problem is, they’ll never get back the White House unless they do the things they are doing in their attempt to besmirch the incumbent.
Though who knows with this Kerry guy, Kaitlyn? He’s not a Lieberman, the only presidential nominee who didn’t make the insane assertion that yes, I voted for the war in Iraq but now I think it was the wrong thing to do. And it’s all President Bush’s fault how I voted because I am an idiot and voted wrong.
You see, Kaitlyn, Kerry DID vote for the war in Iraq but to get their kooky base to bring him to power, he’s got to admit he was too stupid to get his vote right and he was fooled by an evil President.
Anyway, it’s all a mess, Kaitlyn. If Lieberman was the Democratic nominee I wouldn’t be concerned. Maybe even Gebhardt or Edwards. Which names will probably mean nothing to you Kaitlyn but they too were possible Democratic nominees. These guys might have used the same unfair campaign tactics but I suspect they’d continue on Bush’s course. Because if those guys in the middle east get their way, they’d take over America in a minute and convert us all to Islam. The only way to prevent this to take over their countries and rid them of the thugs and thieves they have for leaders.
This Kerry guy, I don’t like him. If your history book has a mention of a President John F. Kerry, Kaitlyn, than at the least you’ll know how your grandmother felt about this dishonest creature.
He’s no leader, Kaitlyn. He might seek it, but he wasn’t born to it and he won’t have it thrust upon him.
Leaders, however they came to the title, are honest, decent, determined and will look out for the good of all. John F. Kerry has never taken a stand in his life. Or at least any kind of stand that he didn’t change his mind about later.
John F. Kerry, Kaitlyn, is not, or will ever be, a leader.
