Rare as it is, I'm about to brag about speed!!! Yes I know people brace yourself......but after reading what he posted on a private email list........it just reaffrimed *however you spell it* not only my husband's devotion to me, our children, and our lives together......
Many may not agree with his views that is your right. I'm not posting this for debate............I'm just so filled with pride and joy of how he can express things into words so much better than I!!!
The commentary is as follows.....:
Hello fellow Listers,
I will weigh in on this subject only once. I will tell you that I have not
read email from this list or anything else for that matter in a number of
days. I came home tonight and decided to read a little to see what has
transpired and found a barrage of salvos heaved back and forth at parties on
the list. I took it all in and mulled it over as I took my daughter outside
to play this evening. I must say that I was really disappointed that Steve
decided to single Jet out as his examples for leaving the list, especially
given that it appeared to me that he vigorously states his opinions and
generally expects people to back down and decide that he holds the correct
views based on history and his personal research. Be that as it is, we as
Americans believe that he is fully entitled to that opinion and in addition
he, or anyone else for that matter, has the inalienable right to voice that
opinion. That very right we are provided as Americans, constitutes that
someone at one time or another had to stand and fight for that freedom, we
hold freedom very dear as do other people of free nations and societies.
Iraq by any definition is NOT a free nation or society and oppression is the
rule and not the exception. However, this is not why we are present in that
country at this time. We are there because the leader of that country has
chosen a path of terror. He terrorizes his "subjects" or countrymen and
moreover poses an eminent threat to the world with a build up of weapons of
mass destruction and his willingness to use them. My goodness folks, he used
them on his own people to test the damn things. In addition, he has been
shown to promote and encourage terrorists and terrorist acts throughout the
middle east and potentially the world. This my friends must be stopped by
someone and is the very reason we are there at this time. I do not promote
war and do not believe that the president is a war monger in need of oil and
finding easy pickings in Iraq. I believe that the UN failed in it's most
important role to date. The UN proved to have little or no stomach for the
prospects of eliminating an eminent threat to the world's peace and to the
relations between nations and cultures. Further inspections after the
resolution date would have encouraged Iraq and its leaders that the world
would let them continue indefinitely in their pursuit of weapons of mass
destruction and making a mockery of the UN in the process. I will add, that
I believe the French position to oppose the war is more a financial one than
one of a passive culture. Indeed, they loaned Mr. Hussein and Iraq a great
deal of money some years ago, Russia, did the same to the order of
approximately 10 Billion dollars. Imagine the French and Russian decision
makers having to decide that if the war were waged and successful with the
current Iraqi government ousted, how in the world would they ever get paid.
This does not even include the oil contracts between the Iraqi government
and Russia and France that would be worthless. You see, this is not a static
environment and there are a vast number of influences and decisions that are
made for a host of reasons. For that matter, if you believe the news
reports, there are current negotiations going on between Iraq and the Allied
forces at this time to mediate this situation, and to the Allied Forces
credit, most if not all of the major life threatening acts of war are
suspended while these talk proceed. Does this sound like a war monger or a
coalition that wants to promote war? At any rate, I have expressed my views
and have no reservations about what I believe and no intentions of changing
anyone else's views. Just figured that some additional points needed to be
raised. The most important reason for my post was to say this:
I had the chance to go outside and play with my daughter tonight, my son too
for that matter. I had the freedom to do that because other great, brave,
honorable men and women have chosen the be a part of our military and
protect us from oppression and terror and the US government and it's allies
had the resolve to police a situation that others were not inclined to
engage. I salute each of these men and women and am in their debt, and for
that matter, other nations and people relieved of this threat are in debt to
them as well.
Thank you for reading this and have a safe night. Please go enjoy your
families.
