The Left and Right Love and Need War

The Left and Right Love and Need War
by Doug Digger Eberhardt

“Most of you know I opposed this war from the start. I thought it was a tragic mistake. Today we grieve for the families who have lost loved ones, the hearts that have been broken, and the young lives that could have been.

America, it’s time to start bringing our troops home. It’s time to admit that no amount of American lives can resolve the political disagreement that lies at the heart of someone else’s civil war.”

Excerpt from Barak Obama’s announcement to run for President, 2/10/2007

Our Nation Cannot Afford Wars at This Point in Time

Why are we sacrificing the lives of young men and women, fathers and mothers who are fighting against an unnamed country? We’re not at war with Iraq or Afghanistan, but with an enemy that has no country, “Al Qaida.” It’s a war that is impossible to win while at the same time we are inspiring a larger enemy because of killing innocent men, women and children while going after enemy targets. Collateral damage has its effects.

The Peace President

While our infrastructure is crumbling at home, the economy supported only by government spending, and our nations debt spiraling out of control, Obama is currently contemplating sending 34,000 more troops to Afghanistan. This after he already sent 4,000 additional troops in February, soon after being sworn in.

Many say that the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Obama was a preemptive move to force Obama’s hand to do the right thing; end the wars.

The Peace Prize winning President however continues to be involved in Pakistan’s affairs ordering a missile strike in August and continuing the Bush administration mantra of continually warning Iran over Nukes as well as renewing the sanctions against Iran and threatening to add new sanctions.

Does this sound like a Peace Prize winning President to you? Can you really tell the difference between George W. Bush and Obama? But the worse of this is not the fact that there is no real difference between the two political parties when it comes to war, but rather the neglect for protecting our own borders.
