Hitler and Usama, History Repeated. Chirac Notwithstanding

There are three kinds of people during these politically volatile times: those who know history and chose to ignore it, those who are totally ignorant of history and consequently live a shallow, meaningless existence and then lastly, Conservatives and patriots like us.

The Liberals and other miscellaneous cowards, who love to “Hate America First” today, do not understand why the war against Terror is as important to win, as it was to win the war against Hitler. They chose to ignore history, because they want to. Take for example, their shining yellow beacon of light, French President Jacques Chirac who had the audacity to advise President Bush just before the D-day commemorations at Colleville-sur-Mer that he “should be careful in not comparing the war Iraq with WWII. History does not repeat itself.”

Not satisfied, Chirac let out another howler by stating that Democracy should not be imposed by force in the Middle East. How easily he forgets that we Americans “imposed” democracy in France, having defeated the Nazi forces of Hitler. I think Chirac should just thank us and think of how Americans saved his country, making it possible for him to be President of France.

The French and the Europeans shall always remain socialists at heart and weaklings, just like their beloved United Nations. They will also be the first to run to us for help the very day they are attacked like we were on September 11^th. Weaklings don’t think anything of shame, just like we don’t think very much of breathing air everyday.

Appeasement and dialogue where neither is possible is the most dangerous policy to follow. How can one negotiate with Usama Bin Laden when he advocates killing Westerners, Americans, Christians, Jews and Hindus just because they exist? How do Chirac and his fellow appeasers at the United Nations plan to have a dialogue with someone who is a narcissistic megalomaniac?

Basking in the glow of Chirac’s jaundiced glow is George Soros. The Liberals love him! He is the man who thinks we are as bad as the Terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. He is spending millions of dollars of his own fortune to fight the evil Conservatives.

Sometimes the show of force and strength is the only way to resolve problems and appeasement is nothing but a sign of weakness. Why do the Europeans and the Democrats in the United States forget that the easy path is not always the correct one? One finds it difficult to understand their actions. Chirac and his ilk fall under the first category.

For the second category, let me present and example of a fairly recent Gallup poll, which stated that 60% of 18-29 year old adults in the United States do not even know whom we fought in WWII in Europe. Consequently, they do not care if History does indeed repeat itself... to them every event is brand new anyway! Their view of this world is based on what they know about it and unfortunately, that is very little.

These young Americans simply are not in a position to care about the great sacrifices made by American military forces in the 1940s. These victims of our liberal education and liberal media are mostly ignorant of the truths that have made us what we are today as Americans. As much as we would like to, it is impossible to turn on a switch and instantly educate the youth of today about the very important fundamentals. They do not understand why it was important to win against Hitler and neither will they realize why it is important to win against Usama Bin Laden. To them, America will continue to remain the cause of all the problems in the world, while they view Usama and other terrorists to be victims of our arrogant foreign policy.

In the meanwhile, the least we can do as Conservatives is to continue to support the people who are not blinded by ignorance. President Bush has correctly continued to put a strong and unflinching front in the War against Terror. He cares very little for the polls and what is politically expedient. President Bush has shown by his actions that he is not going to shy away from the tough decisions required to start defeating the terrorists at their own game.

Under a Gore presidency, I don’t know how we would have reacted post-9/11. I shudder to think of that scenario. Lobbing a few missiles into Afghanistan and a Sudanese pharmaceutical factory is the extent of actions taken by Clinton during his eight years in the White House. During those eight years, we had five attacks on us by Usama Bin Laden, starting with the 1993 World Trade Center bombings.

We most definitely would not have gotten Saddam Hussein out of power and in jail. We would have most probably spent time groveling before the great Kofi while the UN spit out more impotent resolutions. Obviously the Democrats don’t think that 17 resolutions ignored with impunity by Saddam over 12 years are enough to warrant any action.

The facts of the war against Terror conducted so far are before us to consider. Unless we are as blind as the left wishes us to be, the truth should be clear to us all.
