Feb 16, 2007 Iraq vote-A Letter To My Representative

Mr. Larsen,
The people that have voted to oppose the troop increase have made a grave mistake. You are one of them. You do not understand the nature of true, intense, teeth gritting evil. That is what we are fighting over there. It is radical Islam, like a swarm of insane bees, each member willing to die for their god, Allah. If we pull out of Iraq, which this is the first step, they will smell blood. They will know we are weak and unwilling to fight for what is right. They already think that because of Viet Nam, where the left in America fought and protested in the streets for Communism, until we pulled out of there and abandoned the South Vietnamese. Communism quickly swept across all of southern Asia and millions were exterminated under Pol Pot and the communist Vietnamese Government.

Now radical Islam is the dragon waiting for America to cave in and abandon Iraq so it can sweep across the Middle East, because it is poised to do so. Then it will have a choking grip on the worlds oil supply. Notice radial Islam breathing down our necks in Venezuela. Evil will join evil. Gone is Teddy Roosevelt! Gone is Franklin Roosevelt! Gone is Harry Truman! Gone is Winston Churchill! Gone is Ronald Reagan!

If America won’t stand up to evil, who will? I see a dark day coming when America is no longer a superpower, and a new, evil empire takes over the world. And there you are voting on some stupid measure that tells the world we don’t have any stomach for fighting evil. God help America!
