Time to Look at Facts

If the liberal media and leftist democrats were not so determined to return to the "socialization" of America they might consider a few facts before we abandon the war in Iraq.It is a tragic fact that over 3,000 young American service persons have been cut down in the "flower of their youth". Any death is a tragedy, but death comes in many ways to all of us.One of the most dramatic and tragic is the high rate of death on U.S. highways every year. In 2005 43,443 people lost their lives in car accidents on our freeways and highways. Yet each year Congress allows the placement of larger trucks on the highways, and forces Americans to drive in lighter more fuel efficient automobiles, thus increasing the risk to the passenger driver. I hear no cries for the large trucks to be removed from the highways. Nor do I hear any Congressmen demanding safer larger fuel guzzlers for us to drive.What has this got to do with an "unjust war" you ask? The answer is the war is plastered on the newspapers and television in living color everyday. Little is said or written about the huge mortality and waisted lives on the highway.President Bush didn't set the standards for our cars and trucks, but he did get us in the war in Iraq. I believe for a just cause. To rid the world of the worse despot since Joe Stalin and Hitler! And to begin the fight against Islamo-fascism. Unfortunately people are killed in wars. But if we choose to remain free there will always be young people who are killed fighting for us. These brave volunteers will be missed by their loved ones, but no more than the families of the 43,443 slaughtered on the highways. We just hear less about them because it does not fit the leftist profile of attack.
