As a former teacher I submit this quiz consisting of a single multiple-choice question:
America will be best protected by:
(a)President Bush
(b)President Kerry
(c)The UN
Choosing (b) is tantamount to choosing (c).
-OR-
Observe John Dean and Bob Woodward trying to regain the celebrity of the Nixon years by bringing down another President. See John Kerry and the veterans-against-the-war-types again trying to lose a war for political reasons. Observe Walter Cronkite. If we lose the war in Iraq, they regain their prestige.
-OR-
There are no doubt some well-meaning Muslims. However, Islam is a cancer that is 1,350 years overdue in being eradicated. The events of the past several months paint in vivid colors the reason we need to destroy it.
The time is now.
