On November 2, 2004, by an overwhelming popular vote, the American citizens cast their votes in defiance of the world community's wish to remove George W. Bush from the White House. "It is apparent that Americans don't realize how their decision affects the world as a whole." Said one local democrat who was echoing the sentiments of prominent French journalists, last week. "The fact is, we owe the world an apology for not considering the positions of our world partners." He said.
I couldn't agree more; we do owe the world an apology! Let me be the first to say it... I am sorry that we ignored all of the UN resolutions to disarm Iraq. I am sorry that we let groups like the Taliban, Islamic Jihad, Al-Qaeda, and others lead Islamic nations to amass weapons and attack their neighbors. I would also like to apologize to Israel for not coming to their aid in helping them to destroy the radical Palestinian population. I am sorry we let corrupt officials from France, Germany, and Russia abuse the Oil for Food program to line their own pockets and allow innocent Iraqi's to starve to death in the process. I am sorry we left our own children in failing schools, we have weakened our military, and we have removed our religious-historical foundation of strength through morality from our government.
We are the greatest source of wealth and strength in the world today and it seems we are finally getting it right. We do not need to take an international poll to determine the leadership of our country; we need a brief history lesson. The left in this country has been on the wrong side of history from the cold war, when we defeated the evil empire to the weakening of our intelligence and defense to today and the war on terror. We need to take this history lesson, and remember that it is our job, to defeat evil in the world, to provide aid and comfort where we can, to be a strong and compassionate people. The key words here are Strong & Compassionate, it is meaningless to be compassionate without strength.
America is once again heeding the call of the world to step up, spend our money and our blood to protect the freedoms and liberties of those cowards who want us to apologize today to the French and Germans for not being inclusive and considerate to their feelings when we elected George W. Bush again.
It is clear that the Americans aren't apologizing, after giving greater control of the senate to the republicans. America is coming together (forgive the pun) to defeat the world's common enemies and strengthen the moral, ethical and God-fearing country we have always been.
