Sept. 11 brings to mind reasons for war
By David Brunner
Senior Columnist

As Americans spent Sunday remembering the Sept. 11 attacks of four years ago, the debate over the righteousness of the conflict in Iraq and the reasons President Bush gave for it continued. Yet as the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and the crimes of Saddam Hussein drift away from us into history, it remains important to remember why America's safety and security so crucially rest on the struggle for Iraq and why the conflict was and still is right. Americans should consider the following evidence, taken from a variety of scholarly and journalistic sources.

<snip>

Saddam tried to have President George H. W. Bush killed in a terrorist attack in 1993. This event is more than a mere act of aggression against the Bush family but, because of George H. W. Bush's former role as president, also an act of war.

(Oh NO! The "He tried to kill mah daddy" reason!)


<snip>

A democratic, free, lawful and transparent Iraq will provide peace and stability to the Middle East and the world.

As the mightiest nation on earth we can only lose this war by our own choosing. In this time of reflection it is important to not only remember the shocking images that introduced this struggle to us, but also the details and evidence that require our tenacity. Americans may debate over whether President Bush poorly or inadequately defined the message of this war. Perhaps he did. But the facts that exist compel us to stay the course because the message, even if not the messenger, of this war and the war itself is right and good and true.

David Brunner is a graduate student. He can be reached at [e-mail].

So WHY is this guy wasting his time and testosterone as a grad student when it's obvious to me that a young man of his "patriotic" bent would be of better use "Over There"?

Oh, that's right, he's an "Aristocrat in Training" and war "isn't for HIS kind of people"

No, it's for people like MY kid (thank Random Chance for a bee sting allergy, else she'd be over there)...

Bet he drives an SUV, too.

1. Because he is a hypocrite and a coward

[BlueJac]

2. People like David Brunner just....

run their fat mouths and never back it up with participation in the lose of life....he is a fucking coward.

3. Everyone should send an enlistment form

As an attachment to that email address.

I think I'll go do that now.

On edit: Done. I challenged him to be unlike the Chickenhawk Bush administration as well as other neo-con college students and have the courage of his convictions and enlist.

4. Graduate Student????

Good thing I'm not his advisor, I'd have his ass back in undergrad for writing tripe like that.

I guess he could be a MBA student. That might explain it.

[ecoflame]

5. A graduate student?

In what?

Fuck the fact that he may or may not drive a SUV. His logic is lacking from the 'git-go'.

Yet as the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and the crimes of Saddam Hussein drift away from us into history, it remains important to remember why America's safety and security so crucially rest on the struggle for Iraq and why the conflict was and still is right.

Flatly - one has nothing to do with the other - "the events of Sept. 11th" have absolutely nothing to do with "the crimes of Saddam Hussein."

6. Doesn't he realize that colleges turn you liberal?

He should have scurried to that great conservative MANLY-MAN-MAKER, the military!

Oops, wait, there's too many homos who want in there! Gotta keep away from impure thoughts while boinking Cindy, the bleach-blonde cheerleader . . .

:eyes:

7. Saw a similiar chickenshit last week.

He parked his SUV plastered with der keline fuhrer and gop stickers, then waddled into our apartment block. I caught his eye and gave him a hard look. Took some breeze out of his sails.

12. key word here "waddled"

Paints a pretty clear picture.

8. Don't pollute DU with this RW swill please. n/t

10. Hey, I'm just the messenger!

Don't bust MY chops, bust Mr. Brunners....

At least I'm not saying "OMG!!! there was DYNAMITE buried in the LEVEES!"

9. My letter to this POS

David,

Just read your fallacious piece linking of Sept. 11 to the Iraq war, which everyone in the nation seems to realize is a hoax except for you.

Fine. Undoubtedly you've had a hard time finding enlistment forms, so here's a link:

Since you seem to feel it's a fine cause for other people to die for, I'm certain you'd want to offer your own life in defense of your country. You're not a hypocrite, are you?

11. My letter began with...

Subject: Graduate student or yellow elephant?

[ComerPerro]

13. I deeply despise College Republicans

All talk. Cowards.

They either don't believe their own bullshit, or they really are too cowardly to defend America when necessary.

Either way, they are terrible people.
