Immediately after 9/11 President Bush declared that America was at war with terrorists, and we would defeat all terrorists groups and nations who support, sponsor, and aid them.

The president’s failure to assist and lead Israel in the total destruction of Hezbollah demonstrated to the world that the Bush Doctrine is dead. Instead of wiping out a terrorist organization that is sponsored by our enemy Iran, Bush has resorted to name calling and has chosen to support yet another UN resolution to stop violence in the region. When has a UN resolution ever worked in the Middle East or any other part of the world? The UN is corrupt, supports terrorists, and despises the United States.

Osama bin Laden, Ahmadinjedad of Iran, and Basher Assad of Syria must be really be quacking in their boots! America has just backed down to terrorists who want to kill us!

After 9/11 the president established himself as a strong wartime president who would take the fight to the enemy and defeat terrorists wherever they hid. Today, Bush has become a weak wartime president who lacks the will to use overwhelming force to defeat our enemies and achieve total victory. The president refuses to secure our borders allowing untold numbers of terrorists to enter our country. Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and both Iran and Syria are openly supporting terrorists. President Bush is doing nothing about it.

Political correctness has become more important than total victory. Violence is on the rise in Afghanistan and Iraq continues to be a violent country with no end to terrorist violence in site.

Overall Iraq has been a success and is certainly not another Vietnam. Spreading freedom and democracy in the heart of the Middle East is a brilliant plan. But the president did not go into Iraq to destroy our enemy first. The president chose to first establish a free democracy in Iraq hoping to eventually convert the bad guys.

In Iraq, our military is routinely accused of committing atrocities and war crimes. Democrats are very quick to give terrorists the benefit of the doubt whenever civilians are killed during exchanges with our troops. Our troops are never given the same benefit of the doubt by left wing politicians.

Sadly, America has never been unified in the goal to defeat terrorism. The American Left despises Bush for his efforts to defeat terrorism, and the Democrats have undermined our military, our intelligence services, and the president every step of the way. Democrats blamed Bush for not connecting the dots before 9/11, and now side with the terrorists and accuse the president of breaking laws and conducting an illegal war. Democrats even tried to defeat the Patriot Act! In today’s Democratic Party you are an outcast if you support our troops in Iraq.

The Supreme Court recently decided that terrorists are protected by the Geneva Convention, and our military can not conduct military tribunals. The Senate led by presidential wannabe John McCain established the Al-Qaeda Bill of Rights to protect the poor terrorists from harsh interrogations, and also passed a bill allowing terrorists to appeal their prison sentences received in a military tribunal to a federal court! Democrats and a few Republicans continue calling for the closing of Guantanamo Bay.

Clintonites in the CIA and the State Department frequently leak sensitive information to the mainstream media to weaken our war effort. The New York Times has led the charge in weakening our war effort by publishing highly classified information on eavesdropping and bank transaction monitoring programs that are crucial tools in preventing future attacks.

Unlike World War II, today Americans have the privilege to go about their everyday life as if we are not at war. Because we are so fortunate, many Americans have chosen to ignore that we are at war with terrorists who are trying to destroy us. I used to think that America would need ten more 9/11 attacks to finally wake up to the reality of the dangers we face. But I am wrong. I fear that the only thing that will unify Americans in the total destruction of terrorism is a nuclear bomb detonated by terrorists on our soil. Future terrorist attacks will make 9/11 pale in comparison.
