Greetings from
Russell's Remnant: www.oocities.org/dkone_us
Dr.
Russell Whitesell was once asked about how the Hierarchy felt about war. He stated that they tend not to make blanket
statements, but prefer to take each case one at a time. He did however give a general statement
about how the Teachers handle matters.
He said that if the Teachers came to a locked door they would try and
open the door. If it was locked, they
would turn and walk away. Or they,
finding the door locked, would kick the door down and tend to matters behind
the door. The choice between their two
methods does not allow for halfway measures either turn and walk away or bust
in and clean up the matter immediately.

The following article was sent to the
TNG by a friend of the group. It
appeared across the country back in 2003.
We have decided to present it now for our country is using halfway
measures against terrorists. Several
million people on the planet have been given freedom from oppression in the
past few years as a result of trained military veterans from a small number of
countries. May they be allowed to free
other citizens on the planet. If you
were oppressed, would you want someone to free you?

This
gentleman makes a heck of an argument for justification of a war with Iraq.
I asked a friend of
mine who is in his 80's who was in the Korean War and World War II to give me a
little history lesson and his thoughts today on war. I am sharing this because it is a different
look at the Iraqi War.
Thoughts to think
about:
I'm
not going to get into a history lesson.
The short, short version is that the League of Nations (established
after WWI to prevent wars) failed to stop Mussolini's Italy from invading and
conquering Ethiopia. It failed to stop
Japan from invading and conquering Manchuria and much of China. Their committees wrung their hands, spoke in
platitudes, but did absolutely nothing to stop war.
At France's coaxing Britain's
Prime Minister Nevil Chamberlain met with Adolph Hitler in Munich and
surrendered the Sudetenland to Nazi Germany in the interest of "peace in
our time." The French and British
watched as Germany took Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Yugoslavia. They all had committee meetings and wrung
their hands and talked of peace.
World War II erupted when Nazi
Germany invaded Poland. Britain had a
mutual defense treaty with Poland so they couldn't escape. They declared war on Germany. Germany had a
mutual defense treaty with Japan so Japan declared war on Britain. France wet their pants and surrendered to
Germany as fast as they could and gleefully shipped all the Jews they could
find to death camps in Germany to prove to Adolph that they really were on the
side of Germany.
Japan attacked the United States
and, because of Japan's mutual defense treaty with Germany, Germany declared
war on the United States.
Up until December 7th and the
Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a large number of our people were wringing
their hands and saying, "Appease Hitler.
He is really a good guy who just needed a little more land for his expanding
population. The dear man just wants peace. And World War II was in full swing leaving
better than 50,000,000 people dead including about 450,000 American soldiers
and sailors.
Three cheers for the League of
Nations! After World War II it was decided to do the whole thing all over
again. This time we would call it the
United Nations, and we will have committee meetings and hand wringing parties
and make sure peace prevails throughout the land.
While that august body wrung
hands the Soviet Union split Germany, invaded Poland and Yugoslavia, Rumania,
Hungary and Bulgaria along with Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. The peaceful world saw Korea with 37,000
American soldiers killed, over 1,000,000 South Korean soldiers and civilians
killed and the country nearly destroyed.
Since then we have had over
50,000 American soldiers killed in Vietnam and have fought wars in Somalia,
Herzegovenia, Panama, Granada, plus the Gulf War when Iraq invaded Kuwait.
We should have gone into Baghdad
and taken out that evil regime then, but the United Nations would have no part
of that. All they would allow was for
us to chase the Iraqis out of Kuwait, then peace would prevail.
Now, here we are with Saddam
violating all 17 United Nations resolutions while he has massed poison gas and
bio weapons.
He is frantically trying to
develop a nuke and his buddy, Kim Jong-Il of North Korea, may give him a
few. (It was the United Nations who
prevented us from taking North Korea when the war was hot, and we had the means
to do it.) Peace!!!!!!!! Sure.
France is wetting their
collective pants in fear that the United States will take Saddam out and along
with him, France's 60 billion-dollar contracts with Iraq. Russia hedges because Iraq owes them 6
billion dollars that they sorely need.
In answer to your question.......
Hell yes, we should go to war with Iraq.
We should have done it six months ago.
We should also get out of the United Nations. Can you believe that the United Nations has appointed Iraq and
Syria to head up the United Nations Disarmament Committee? Can you believe they have appointed Libya to
head up the Human Rights Committee? All
three of these countries are on the UN List of Terrorist States ............
absolutely unbelievable.
Just don't get me going. Throughout recorded history the only time
peace has prevailed is when the good guys have militarily whipped the bad
guys. Who are our best friends in the
world? Japan because we whipped them,
Germany because we whipped them, Italy because we whipped them, and Britain
because we whipped them.
This is one opinion,
on the War, but this is the eyes, ears and heart of an American Veteran...
Make
that two!
