Hello Gentlemen,
I just finished reading an interesting perspective with regards the election and the war. Orson Scott Card points out the fallacy of appeasement that has been repeatedly demonstrated throughout history. I am in agreement with Card; Appeasement does not work. How many times do we have to prove the point before we’re all dead? I thought these points were particularly powerful…
If all the candidates of both parties had pledged their support for victory in Iraq and Afghanistan, then our battlefield success would translate into political success as well. Instead, because both Clinton and Obama have promised to surrender as soon as they are elected, they daily encourage our enemies to keep fighting, keep killing Americans, endure long enough for victory to be handed to them by the Democratic candidate.
This is why, for so many years, it was the policy of both parties to leave foreign policy out of election campaigns. Because when candidates for the job of commander-in-chief of the American military pledge to withdraw in the face of the enemy, regardless of whether we’re winning or not, regardless of whether losing the war will have dire consequences — well, folks, that is direct interference with the President as he carries out his duties.
Check out the rest of the article, he uses several historical examples to support his position. Try not to let the emotion in his writing ruin the message.
