Dear Ms Moore: (since we're into improper titles & all)
Your bias against people with different political ideologies is remarkable. Before you start to pat yourself on the back thinking this is a compliment, it's not. Here's a few things you may want to consider:
1. There was virtually NO ONE in America (blind Clinton followers aside) that was gung-ho to go to war with Bosnia, Kosovo or Iraq (part 2). Trust me on this one. Open your closed mind and on to any street in America and try to find five people who are (positively) PASSIONATE about Clinton's character. YOU WON'T FIND THEM! Maybe on Haight-Ashbury, in Hollywood or Manhattan. Why? 'Cause NO one, aside from bastians of liberalism, respects him! This was even the case before the chubby intern. You see, this is how we average Americans think: If this guy was married to my sister or had sold me a used car, I would have kicked his ***.
2. The majority of Americans -- the ones who never bother to watch your propagandist documentaries -- are not fooled by your complete liberal bias. We know what the real issues are that affect our daily lives -- and none of them begin with Y or U. Here's what threatens us: character assassination disguised as "thoughtful commentary", attempting to divide a majority united America, attempting to equate terror threats to gas prices on the exact same level -- the list goes on and on. So you have to take a pay cut or pay extra to fill up your SUV, is that worth the life of Iraqis to you? Because leaving Saddam in power is exactly what you're condemning them too. I'm sorry if I don't get warm fuzzies about Saddam or his psychopathic boys. Perhaps you & a few of your libbed-up dilettante buddies can lament the great days of Saddam's regime.
3. Bill Maher said that the 9/11 terrorists weren't cowards. Obviously a man prone to having diarrhea of the mouth & constipation of the brain. Are you really sure that's the guy you want to use to support your views? Maybe throw in a little Joseph Stalin in there too?
4. The Pope has said this war is wrong, yet remains silent on the pedophiles. Didn't the Pope at the time also say WWII was wrong? The Pope! By the way, President Bush isn't Catholic, so the Pope's position really doesn't have much of an effect. I wonder how JFK (no doubt a hero of yours) resigned himself with adultry or Vietnam. The Dixie Chicks have commited professional suicide! Ask Jane Fonda how well it helped her career. How long will it take you to realize that this war is the right course of action? Of course, this is a war you personally won't have to fight due to the many brave men & women that fight for your right to make your silly little movies & make your silly little comments. But yammer away. The founding fathers granted this freedom with their blood, even for psuedo-intellectuals like you, Moore.
5. Of the 535 members of Congress, only ONE (Sen. Russ Feingold - Democrat, Wisconsin) disagreed with taking action against terror threats! Also Congress agreed that action should be taken if Saddam doesn't comply to resolution 1441 (77-23 in the Senate & 296-133 in the House). BTW, Clinton didn't even bother to get the UN's approval when he started bombing Iraq. Where was the righteous indignation then?
The majority of Americans agree with the action. If you really want to stand up for America, please run for office. It might be an interesting exercize to find out what it takes make things work in government What's that you say? You don't THINK so? Well, hey, guess what -- we don't think so either! But try anyway. Maybe Walter Mondale can give you a few pointers on how to run a campaign. If Bush was all the things you claim his is, then the middle east would have been nuked on 9/12/01. I guess it's always easier to armchair quarterback, huh? Safer too, that way a smaller percentage knows that you're full of it.
6. Finally, France has shot themselves in the foot. When they said they would veto any resolution to inforce 1441 (which was unanimously by the UNSC), regardless of what the resolution read, they rendered the UN obsolete & themselves as a former ally. They tried to bully other countries into compitualation or threatening their membership in the European Union. Oh yeah & people don't love the French. Ask the average person on the street what they think of them. The French have hated us for a long time & now the feeling is mutual. Sure, we'll drink champagne or eat croissants, but they have no problem watching our movies (heh, likely not yours though) or visiting
Disneyland Paris. Many feel that the debt owed during our Revolution was paid when the idea sparked their own. Even if that isn't acceptable to you, our debt was paid tenfold when thousands of our young men drew their last breath on the D-Day trying to liberate France from tyranny.
Even out of good will, we're letting the obsolete UN act as the middle man for the food for oil program. France has said that they'll hop aborad when Saddam uses his WMD - I'm sure they wanna get there to rub off the "Made In France" markings ASAP. Of course they've also offered to exile that fine person, Saddam. After all it worked so well for Napoleon...oh wait, nevermind. Now doubt they'll try to throw their hat in the ring when it comes time for rebuilding. France...I can think of a couple other words that start with "F".
Well, cheer up -- there IS good news. Iraqis are being freed as I type this! They're welcoming our troops with open arms. Funny how liberation from oppression can have that effect. Oh yeah & the stock market has been surging too.
Not Yours,
Thank you.
Boo!
