Overall the reason for the Patriot Act to be created made perfect logical sense. We are dealing with an enemy that plans it's attack by infiltration. To stop that infiltration, the Patriot Act is neccessary. Now i know people have been falsy accused, I have a personal family member of mine that has been falsy accused by the goverment, so personally, i expect my hate for some actions of the goverment is far beyond yours. This goverment has flaws to it that I feel are wrong and will never be fixed due to corruption and that the Constitution and Amendments can be warped to possibly accuse someone and say it's legal without sufficient proof. Believe me when I say I know this I have lived this and it has happened to a family member of mine an is still occuring now as we speak. Life isnt perfect and getting Bush out of office will eventually happen due to the election, but will not change anything. You say Bush could have done this and Bush could have done that....you can say that with every single president becuase the list and accusations will go on and on. Do you think Lyndon B Johnson was a good president? Because the Vietnam war was his decision and we suffered greatly by it and then backed out and we lost the war, resulting in thouands of deaths for no purpose, messed up Vietnam vets, a society that blamed the soldiers and spat on them as they returned home...Is that the country you want us to be again? As i have said countless times, History class is a lesson to society so that we wouldnt make the same mistakes again...Iraq might have been a mistake just like Vietnam was, but backing out of Vietnam made the entire war utterly pointless. Backing out of Iraq will have the same consequence and once again make the war utterly pointless and make all of those deaths pointless. And even worse since the enemy in Iraq and other parts of the Mid East is very good at spreading Anti-American propaganda and brain washing their countrymen into violence and revenge. You look at the views of the Taliban, Hamas, Al-Queda the terrorist groups go on and their views become more radical in every passing day. I feel that the difference between me and many people that have views like you is that I see the consequences before they will occur, becuase it is obvious to me. You may watch all these youtube videos about Bush doing this and America doing that but do you realize the propaganda in these Mid Eastern countries Akamu? Do you know that in parts of the Mid East, that elementary schools taught children to hate Jews and they sang their school song which was about blaming Jews for everything and killing them, etc. Many parts of the Mid East brainwash children...not teenagers or grown adults..CHILDREN so that in the future they can have a country full of anger and revenge...look it up, it's far worse than you will ever imagine. We are nothing compared to the outside world and you must realize this some day. We have the power to be corrupt and we have used that corruption many times but other countries use far worse tactics to get their way and their views, and they are views that you can even compare to Hitler and the Nazis. Take for example the leader of Iran Achamdinejad i cant spell his name, but he has admitted in statements and speaches to wipe Israel off the map and every Jew with it....is this not an exmaple of part of Hitlers plan of domination? Did you also know that Saddam Hussein used to read Hitler's diary, Mien Kampf? He followed his views and used it in his terrfying campaign...that is why many things Saddam did were similar to Hitler...even the History channel picked this up. So if you say going into Iraq was useless, you are dead wrong. Saddam was a tyrant that was followed through FEAR. You also know that the Iraqi soccer team was tortured for not winning soccer games right? And yet the American people slam Bush for taking Saddam out of power and his tyrant goverment which he controlled. Saddam killed millions, had views of one of the worst men to ever live....is that not enough reason to go to war and end his reign to save others and the country itself? Now you'll say how did we save others if so many Iraqis have died? well my answer is that it is War and many of those people were enemies trying to kill our soldiers. And also in War innocent people die by accident, were Saddam killed innocents on purpose. No one was stopping this and America finally did, so wether we get Oil or not is irrelevant...becuase Saddam was a leader that was a Hitler part 2 and their is proof to suport it, the History channel made a segment on it. America took out Saddam and is trying to establish a Democratic goverment, so that these people and thier children dont live in fear anymore...it is being done as we speak. And Bush is being slandered for this. Would you go to war to save many lives in the future? Because i would. And say your veiw on Bush is correct we went there for Oil and many died becuase of it, well wouldnt establishing a goverment unlike Saddam's and killing him and his Son's make up for that? More lives would be saved by this War then you think. You think about the present only, were I think about the present and future affects of everything. I have stated my reasons...you may attack me all you want because your views are completely different but know that I have personal proof and historical proof to back my arguments as i explained.
