International cooperation? What a joke.

Nobody is going to take care of the United States but the United States ESPECIALLY if we take the fight to the sheet-headed terrorists.

Most of the European nations are a bunch of p*ssies. Take France. France doesn't want to get too involved not only because it's a nation of faggy cheese-eating surrender monkies, but because a subtantial portion of their own population is Muslim Arab (remember the old French colonies?). Germans. A people whose most significant accomplishment as of late was the extermination of 6 million innocent people. Remember the Kraut lefties who praised the 9/11 attacks as "glorious art?" Did I mention that Germany and France had substantial economic interests in Iraq?

Most other countries don't want to stir the pot because they don't want to be targeted by the ragheads (e.g., Spain). P*ssies, all of them. I'm no chest-beating hawk by any measure, but WAR is about breaking things and killing people. It's sometimes necessary to wage war to get things done. Have people forgotten that already?

Re: Iraq. You think our pre-emptive invasion of Iraq didn't send a message to Iran and Syria, both of which have supported and given aid and comfort to anti-American terrorists?

So what if we went to war over oil. That stuff is a strategic resource that is plugged into our economy and security. Do I like the fact that we're so dependent on foreign oil? No. If you hate Bush so much, piss off his oil company cronies and come up with a plentiful, environmentally-friendlier alternative. Until then, stop bitching, oil is important. You can't go to work without oil, you can't eat without oil, and YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T GO FISHING WITHOUT IT.

The rest of the world thinks we are too powerful and think we deserved what we got on 9/11 because we support Israel. Eff the rest of the world, let it all fall apart for all I care. Find an alternative to oil, and then we can let the French run their cars on cheese and perfume.

And don't get me started with 9/11. I lost friends in the towers. I used to work right across from the towers. I ate lunch in the basement there. Fortunately, I decided not to work there shortly after the stock market bubble burst and the planes hit. I nearly had a freakin' heart attack trying to track down my little brother that day, who was probably saved by his habitual laziness. He overslept and got to the WTC just in time to see the second plane hit. If he was punctual, it's likely he would have been killed. The missus was trapped in the City as all the trains, bridges and tunnels were shut down - like thousands of others she had to WALK to get out. All the while, cell phone spectrum was JAMMED because the ragheads took out a tower on the WTC and everybody was calling everyone in NYC to check up on loved ones. Unless you were there, YOU CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT PEOPLE WERE FEELING THAT DAY.

If you were there, you might feel differently.
