Here's something that's....

   ....definitely [1]worth reading if for no other reason than it might
   wake you up, or perhaps wake someone you know up.
   I have always said that the fastest way to make a liberal into a
   conservative is to rape his wife and kill his children. Everybody has
   their breaking point, even liberals, and enough violence, up front and
   personal, will teach them the lesson they need to learn. You don't
   back down from bullies. You stand and fight.
   If we had kicked Sadaam's butt in 1991, we wouldn't be where we are
   today. The Iraqi Shiites would have supported us wholeheartedly. Al
   Sadr wouldn't have been more than a pimple on Sistani's butt. Iran
   wouldn't have been as strong as it is now -- or as prepared to make us
   bleed. And Al Qaeda might never have reached maturity. 9/11 may never
   have even happened.
   But we listened to the "negotiators" and the "peacemakers" and the
   "experts" and we hesitated.
   The 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the embassy bombings, the USS
   Cole bombing, 9/11 -- those are the price you pay for hesitancy -- the
   price you pay for cowardice in the presence of a bully, for a liberal
   philosophy that thinks that all men can be reasoned with when some can
   obviously not be. It has ever been thus.
   In the end, many more die than would have died had the beast been
   killed earlier. We should have learned this lesson in WWI. We surely
   should have learned it after WWII! Yet we continue to ignore the
   lessons of the past.
   So what is it that compels us to forgive these people, the liberals
   and the anti-war activists, for their cowardly ways? What is it that
   drives us to listen to them and think that what they say has any
   meaning at all? Why must we, time and time again, suffer the deaths of
   thousands and even millions at the hands of beasts because we listened
   to the fools who said, "Talk to him. He'll listen. Give him something.
   He'll stop. Placate him and he won't hurt you."?
   The liberals complain that we didn't send enough troops to Iraq. We
   did. In 1991. But back then they pleaded with us to stop the killing.
   And so we listened. And now we're paying the price.
   When will we, as a nation, learn to stop our ears to the siren call of
   those who claim they want peace, the liberals and the anti-war crowd
   (which is really the cowardice lobby) all the while sealing our fates
   and killing millions of us? When will we finally tell the liberals and
   the anti-war cowards to shut up and go away?
