Stuck On Stupid

Petite, unassuming and gentle, Bettejo Indelicato protests the Iraq war. She resides in a modest home tending bee hives and collecting honey. Soft-spoken but strong-willed, she co-founded the Florida Peace Action Network and on early Friday mornings joins other members holding protest signs for passing motorists to see in New Port Richey. Indelicato is not a typical protester; she went to Iraq before the bombs dropped. In a recent interview, she related how her initial opposition began when the United States imposed sanctions on the Iraqi people. The sanctions affected the quality of everyday life and caused great hardship and suffering. They had no impact on the notorious regime of Saddam Hussein. Read More

Is the Tampa Tribune desperate for an anti-war movement here in Pasco? Three to seven people get out on the road in the morning holding a few signs and that constitutes a protest? Pathetic. These protesters are the same people who say they believe in human rights, civil rights, multiculturalism, etc… Saddam Hussein has been deposed, the Iraqi’s vote in higher percentages than Americans, the rape rooms are closed, the political prisoners of Saddam are free, and the opportunity to take control of their country has been put in Iraqi citizens hands. Rather than having a government imposed on them the Iraqi’s are now able to control their own destiny. What they do with this opportunity is up to them but we definitely should not cut and run as we did in Vietnam. Does anyone want to see a repeat of the Killing Fields in Cambodia on a much larger scale? I recently received an essay written by Raymond S. Kraft and I cannot say it any better than he already has in this excerpt: In WW II the US averaged 2,000 KIA a week for four years. Most of the individual battles of WW II lost more Americans than the entire Iraq war has done so far. The stakes in Iraq are at least as high. A world dominated by representative governments with civil rights, human rights, and personal freedoms . . or a world dominated by a radical Islamic Wahhabi movement, by the Jihad, under the Mullahs and the Sharia (Islamic law). It’s difficult to understand why the average American does not grasp this. They favor human rights, civil rights, liberty and freedom, but evidently not for Iraqi’s. “Peace Activists” always seem to demonstrate here in America , where it’s safe. Why don’t we see Peace Activist demonstrating in Iran , Syria , Iraq, Sudan , North Korea , in the places that really need peace activism the most? I’ll tell you why! They would be killed! The liberal mentality is supposed to favor human rights, civil rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity, etc., but if the Jihad wins, wherever the Jihad wins, it is the end of civil rights, human rights, democracy, multiculturalism, diversity, etc. Americans who oppose the liberation of Iraq are coming down on the side of their own worst enemy!
