Argument of Kings
Democrats, Old Media, and leftists in general have triangulated their arguments against the War on Terror by making their chief argument "anti-war", at least as far as America is concerned, because they see things through the prism of Viet Nam. For them, they have propagated a myth that America lost this war solely in the military sphere. However, as any objective historian will note, not a single battle was lost to either the North Vietnamese army nor to the Viet Cong guerrila forces. We did not suffer a Dien Bien Phu unlike our French counterparts in 1954. The entire war was started by Democrat Presidents and its critical first 4 years was waged completely defensive. With communist agents and their sycophants in the universities and media clearly agitating for "withdrawal" from Viet Nam, the war itself was lost entirely and 100% on American soil.
In spite of the liberal war-protests propagated daily by the Old Media, the American people by and large supported the defense of Viet Nam. Under Nixon, however, the war could not be sustained defensively forever, therefore a critical decision was made to infact withdrawal from Southeast Asia since both Republicans and Democrats were unwilling to bring a land war to Hanoi itself. Clearly, a liberal defeatist and pessimistic viewpoint crept into the political mindset of both parties and resulted in the complete and unncessary collapse of South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia to the communist jihad.
Today, democrats believe they can revive this old spectre of defeatism and pessimism by constantly harping on the number of dead in Iraq. This is their cornerstone argument against any war America wages to defend herself and her allies. With Old Media showing dead Americans or giving a daily count of the American dead (not the enemy mind you) and with liberal politicians constantly making non-sequitors to the Viet Nam War, the Democrats hope that Americans will reject President Bush's agenda and embrace their own. Terrorists around the world therefore only need to bring the fuel that will light the democrats "Burning Man" abomination with George Bush in effigy, by attacking American forces in Afghanistan and Iraq and causing as many casualties as they can for the evening news cycle. Just like in the days of Viet Nam. Ah yes, the good ole days. Are democrats trying to make history repeat itself?
We lost 3000 Marines at Tarawa, 5000 Army soldiers on D-Day alone and nearly 19,000 men at the infamous Battle of the Bulge. Tarawa took a mere 5 days. D-Day was just the first day of Operation Overlord, and the Battle of the Bulge was waged in less than 2 months. Korea took approximately 33,000 American lives and Viet Nam 56,000 souls. Do I need to mention the Civil War? All wars cost lives and blood. There is not a single war that has not. Knowing all this, Operation Iraqi Freedom has cost under 2200 lives. So far, this war has been waged and executed exceptionally well. The numbers speak for themselves. Over 50 million souls have been liberated from secular and religious tyranny in Iraq and Afghanistan and we are avenging the destruction wrought by the hands of terror regimes on that other day of infamy, September 11th, 2001.
If Democrats want to retreat at the first sign of casualties, then I dare say, they are in for a rude awakening because their own policies will feed the machinery of war for the other side. A vaccuum must be and will be filled when we retreat. Thus, terror regimes will "chase" us out from whence we came and where shall we go after that? Europe? Japan? And when they attack us there, then where shall we go? Back to Fortress America? But wait, they don't even want to watch our borders much less defend them here. For Democrats, its retreat, retreat, retreat. Where is their last stand? Hell?
If Democrats are unwilling to occupy the field of battle then indeed they are unworthy of rulership. For the last argument of kings is war. And if a king refuses to wage war, for whatever reason, then he is unworthy of his kingdom and his throne. A party of rats and rabbits have they become and even now, the wolves are licking their chops. I pity them for their lack of courage in these dark days. They shall die a thousand deaths.
