Freedom IS on the March!

For all of those who can't stand George W. Bush, please stop talking for a minute and look at what's happening in the Middle East.

Elections in the Palestinian Territory, Elections in Iraq, Libya giving up it's quest for WMD's, Egypt about to permit some opposition in their elections, and Lebanese people marching in the streets to tell the world that it doesn't want Syria occupying their country any longer. Frankly, these developments in a few short years is historic and unimaginable--to most except for the President and his advisors.

Have there been mistakes? Of course. Name a significant moment in history when there weren't. Is this guaranteed to "work" and to actually help to make the region more peaceful? Nothing is guaranteed. There are still major problems and hurdles ahead. There are many twists in the road as well, and there's no guarantee we'll choose the right one every time.

But, would this be possible without our President's vision, strength and drive? Not for another thousand years--if then.

On second thought, I am wrong above, when I said nothing is guaranteed. Because one thing is guaranteed: if we had not taken this path, there would be more and greater "September 11ths." No question.

And, to those critics and perpetual second-guessers, you had/have no ideas, except the status quo. Not one. Do you not understand that you are becoming irrelevant because of that?

You're welcome to sit with us at the table, just not until you grow up, get serious, and bring some original, constructive thinking with you. Until then, go back to your whining and griping and conspiracies and let the adults try to make the world better and safer for all who mean us not harm.
