A letter from an unknown freeper to me

Edited on Mon Nov-03-03 05:09 PM by Woodstock

Note: this letter was received in response to some stuff I've been writing on a website - my comments are in {...} - I haven't written him back - what is the use?

You're right about one thing; power comes from the point of a gun.

{I never said anything remotely like this. Power comes from winning over people's hearts and minds - something that doesn't happen at the point of a gun.}

But anything else you have to say is just more encouragement to the terrorists who see the US as a threat to their own power.

{What power? We hold all the cards. That is no reason for us to go about empire building because of it.}

The more people like you encourage them, the more they will continue to kill American and British troops.

{The more they know we are all not like Bush, the less they will hate all Americans.}

How far do you think they would have gotten at this point if instead of offering them every possible bit of encouragement, you had begun early on by stating that the US was resolute and determined to free the Iraqi people from their terror?

{LIE - Bush never said this was about liberating the Iraqi people - why didn't he go to Liberia, then? Rawanda? He said there was an imminent threat.}

By continuing to attack the US and President Bush you are saying to the Islamic militants that if they can only keep up their resistance long enough for you (the Democrats) to get rid of the Republicans in the White house, then they will have won another victory over America just like you (and they) did in Mogadishu and Viet Nam.

{I've read it twice and still can't make any sense out of what he was trying to say.}

You, not President Bush, are the ones who are now getting our troops killed.

{Yes, little old me, writing in defense of the troops - not the guy with all the wealth and power, who controls all three branches of government.}

You seem to have forgotten that it was these same fanatics that attacked the World Trade Center and killed nearly 6,000 Americans BEFORE we launched our preemptive strike against them.

{LIE: Bush and Rumsfled and Rice have said (after misleading the American people) that there is no tie between Saddam & 9/11. And Saddam's was a secular state, so if you want to talk about "fanatics" you can look elsewhere in the mideast - or maybe right there in Texas - better yet, just look in the mirror.}

I am not saying that political debate should not occur or that you should not be allowed to disagree with the current occupants of the White House. Politics in America will always demand debate and discussion of the way we run this country.

{Nice to know you've got one thing right.}

However apparently these Islamic terrorists understand American politics much better than you do. Ask yourself one simple question, who do you think Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin-Ladin are voting for, George Bush or Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy?

{We don't know who they are voting for, because we don't know where they are. Bush never found them. They are at large. He gave up looking for one, and let the other get away due to poor planning.}

If you’re smart enough to figure that one out (which I doubt) perhaps you will figure out how to keep your political debates and discussions limited to financial issues or Medicare and stop getting our troops killed by encouraging terrorists.

{Pretty funny coming from someone who got all their information from Bush's press secretary. And from someone who thinks Saddam brought down the WTC.}
