The
US is the World’s Liberator
By
Amber Pawlik
The
recent capture of brutal dictator Saddam Hussein disproves what
Chomsky-ite leftists have been trying to propagandize for decades:
that capitalism necessarily leads to military imperialism.
In fact it is the opposite:
capitalist nations export freedom, security, and liberation
around the world.
The
current anti-war zealots infesting campuses everywhere are not Marxists.
They are Leninists. Their
hatred is not aimed at what a capitalist nation supposedly does to
proletarians but to all the poor, oppressed people around the world.
It is taken as an axiom that capitalism, by sin of producing a
robust economy and strong military might, necessarily leads to military
imperialism.
The
evidence for this is weak. When
Chomsky, for instance, accuses the US of killing as many people as
Hitler, he will reference US bombing of a pharmaceutical company in
Sudan Africa – Clinton’s doing.
In his twisted logic, since this did not just kill the people at
that bombing but caused many people to be without medical supplies, the
US is necessarily responsible for thousands of deaths – just like
Hitler.
The
logic in this is absurd, but this is the type of evidence these
Leninists give. [Although
if you want to compare Clinton to Hitler, I perhaps wouldn’t mind
seeing that headline on CNN news]. Of course, there is another dictator
comparable to Hitler: Saddam
Hussein, someone whom Chomsky rarely, if ever, condemns.
Saddam
Hussein has killed upwards of one million people by direct, conscious
will – including his own people.
He gassed people at whim, including children; he would hang women
upside down during menstruation to humiliate them; his sons would point
to women they wanted, then raped them – just to name a few of the
evils this regime was responsible for.
(please note that I am using past tense!)
This
scum bucket, as of this morning of December 14, 2003, was captured and
detained, and all Iraqis can rest assured that they will never suffer
terror at the hands of this monster again.
It wasn’t Canada that captured him; it wasn’t Mexico; it
wasn’t Germany; it wasn’t France:
it was the United States, the freest, most capitalistic nation in
the world today or ever.
Every
American should be not only thankful but proud to be an American today.
Message to the Iraqi people:
Merry Christmas!
Is
this the nation that these anti-American Chomsky-ites accuse of being a
military tyrant? The
country that ridded the world of Hitler and now Hussein?
When Britain was at its prime, it would ransack, takeover, and
control defeated countries. They
ransacked the Taj Mahal for their own personal profit, just as one
example. Of the countries
the US invaded in the past, excluding the current situation, which one
is occupied by US forces? Japan?
Germany? The
accusations of Leninists are bogus.
A capitalist nation has no desire to pull the strings of another
country: that would be way
too cumbersome.
When
terrorists caught Danny Pearl, by sin of being a Jew, he was captured,
held hostage, and shot to death – leaving his pregnant wife behind.
Images of Danny being detained with a gun to his head were all over the
media. When we caught
Saddam Hussein today, the first image we have seen is him getting a
medical examination. Further
proof of a tyrannical America – giving medical aid to our goddam
enemies.
Every
benevolent, peace-loving person and nation is happy today, happy that
Saddam Hussein was caught –even France!
But the silence from the Democrats is still deafening.
I went to the gym today and random strangers come up to me to
tell others and me they were “Happy that guy was caught!”
You’d have to have a pretty cold heart and nasty political
agenda not to be caught up in patriotic fever, joy for the Iraqi people,
and thankfulness to the Bush administration today.
To his credit, Howard Dean has done the smart thing already and
congratulated US troops and even the administration for capturing
Saddam. Good for him, but
remember were Dean elected already; he would have pulled us out of Iraq.
The military invasion would have been futile and the people of
Iraq would still be unable to sleep at night, worrying Saddam will come
back.
Of
course, give them a few days, the Democrats will come out with some
clever sound-bytes to put daggers in this joyous day.
I can already hear them, “Saddam was a bad guy, but he wasn’t
THE bad guy!” “If Osama
had oil, we would have caught him already!”
Guess
what Democrats: freedom-loving
people all over the Middle East are rejoicing at Saddam’s capture.
The countries (read: governments)
that manufacture terrorism are shaking in their shoes, knowing the fall
of Saddam means their fall too. Note
to Democrats: this is a
moment that is going down in history, and you are going to be on the
wrong side.
Republicans
should seize the moment and do what they have to in the war on terror:
remind Americans that it isn’t over with the capture of Saddam
Hussein. Saddam Hussein was
a scum bucket to be taken out, for sure.
But taking down Iraq was like shooting at the arm not the head.
We need to aim at the head and rid the world of the largest
manufacturer of terrorism: the
Ayatollah Iranian government.
People
tell me, “We need to stabilize Iraq before we go after Iran.”
Nonsense. We need to go
after Iran to stabilize Iraq. They
are up to no good, sending terrorists over to that area, attacking our
soldiers, wearing them thin.
An
attack in Iran would be quick, devastating, and eternally beneficial.
The Iranian people hate their government, they love America, and
the soldiers working for the Iranian government will quickly turn their
back on the government and work for the people if they had the certainty
that the people will follow through with topping this regime.
It should happen now – it should have happened yesterday.
Message
to President Bush: you make
me proud to be an American, and please do not stop here!
