American resolve

Today is September 12, 2007. Six years ago yesterday, the world was shocked to learn that the World Trade Centers existed only as a pile of rubble. Americans joined together for support and comfort. They also demanded that the government find and destroy those resposible for the attack. We wanted to show the world that we a tough and resilient nation. That we would do what it took to ensure not only our own physical safety, but the safety of democracy and freedom. But where now is the steadfast resolve we had six years ago?

As more and more people are demanding that we extract our troops immediately from Iraq (and yes, Saddam did give funds and weapons to terrorists), what is this telling the evil we are fighting? It tells them America is weak, that we have no guts for the long fight it will take us to subdue them. Which is exactly what they thought as they were planning the attacks on the Trade Centers. Will we prove them right? May it never be! May it never come to pass that evil men triumph over the rightious, for we are fighting a rightious cause. If Freedom is not something right to fight for, than upon what does America stand?
