But as a head of state sworn to protect and defend my nation, I cannot be guided by their examples alone. I face the world as it is, and cannot stand idle in the face of threats to the American people. For make no mistake: Evil does exist in the world. A nonviolent movement could not have halted Hitler's armies. Negotiations cannot convince al Qaeda's leaders to lay down their arms. To say that force is sometimes necessary is not a call to cynicism -- it is a recognition of history; the imperfections of man and the limits of reason.

In fact, these wars should be addressed every day --

The bankrupting of our Treasury which is a direct and speedy route to destroying democracy -- !!!

And the continuing mechanization of our weapons which can kill faster, deadlier, and more, more, more.

The sacrifice of the lives of our own soldiers -- for what?

For 19 alleged hijackers, the majority of whom were Saudis???

For WMD which didn't exist -- as the disgusting Tony Blair is now saying . . . he would have found

any fig leaf to attack Iraq!!!

It's about time we changed HIS-STORY and began a new one of non-violence --

Patriarchy and violence are mirror images of one another -- !!!

Disgusting!!!
