Where is Your Heart?

Have you ever played man of the mountain? The one perceived to be the strongest wins. Saddam Hussein was the man on the mountain, because he convinced the world he had weapons of mass destruction, especially Iran, and other neighbors, (this protected his country from invasion). It has never been our policy to "overtake a country," as some of our own, call us erroneously, an "imperialist nation," but, because we are the world's man on the mountain.
A place we arrived at not because of any other reason than, we earned it. We are called upon to help other's when and where ever we can. Who else can? Who does the world turn to? Us.

The call was Saddam's, perhaps he was bluffing, perhaps not, but when he refused to comply with the United Nations, we had the right and duty to go in. That is what rules are for. It was decided that in his refusal to comply with the United Nations mandates we would enforce the provisions set forth in the Gulf War I treaty that compelled him to disarm and be verified, or face destruction. He did not allow the search, or provide the proof of the records of destruction. We along with a small coalition, took action to rid what the world agreed was his stockpile of weapons of Mass Destruction. It is simple, like Russian Roulette, we cannot take a chance when a dictator shows its aggressiveness such as: by invading Kuwait, and a protracted war with his neighbor Iran. Then, we heard after our going in to Iraq, how mass graves were found, and masses of people had been annihilated, (gassed).

(Iran has openly threatened it's neighbors, inflaming his enemies.) Your objection to our going into Iraq says one thing clearly to me. You do not want to take the responsibility for your neighbor. You would have turned your back on them, which suggests that "money" comes before people. When your man of the mountain, it carries a great responsibility for human kind. That comes at a great cost. (The video below is a two minute letter from Joe Cook, which says it all). And, I say, if you don't care, about people who have lacked freedom, peace, and a life worth living, then all I can say is, where is your heart? I am going to vote for a president who knows his enemies and they know him. He is not afraid to fight, and understands that once you lose your place on the mountain, it's all over. He knows well the threat of a Nuclear age, (especially when Iran is claiming to develop nuclear weapons and a Navy of it's own), and like other countries, have their scope on us. We must be careful not to leave Iraq vulnerable, and we must never let our guard down. This is not the time to "stand down" people, not when our enemies are just waiting for an opening. Yes, we have a lot on our plate, as generations did before us. These are trying times and it will take more than a Maverick, but we are fortunate to have someone who is strong on defense, and will fight for us, he is John McCain. So engage your mind, and vote your heart.
