My good friend Beau says in regard to unification and healing, that the most important thing that Bush opponents can do is to “get behind our troops in word and deed.” I couldn’t agree with that more.
You may think that Iraq isn’t the best choice to front the war on terrorism right now. Fair enough. But this President has made that decision and is fighting terrorists the best way he knows how. Public mockery of that decision, and of the job that our troops are currently doing, does nothing but make the situation worse. Do you really want healing? Then put up or shut up. Quit paying superficial lip service to the idea of “supporting the troops,” and get behind the troops and behind this effort that people have voted to support. If you still feel the need to dissent in the midst of your “support,” then write your congressman. But continued public mockery of what we’re trying to do in Iraq isn’t helping anything. Do you want to help, or do you want to hurt?
Beau also says, “We have a great opportunity to unite as one America. We can all support our troops and their Commander and Chief, or we can continue to tear apart the war effort for personal gain.”
Exactly, people. Which way do you want it?
