Why Michael Moore DOES NOT get it
I had kept my sense of humor when reading Michael Moore's
USA Today Column, but I just could not keep from writing
about his column.
http://usatoday.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=USATODAY.com+-+Don%27t+send+more+kids+to+die&expire=&urlID=11519588&fb=Y&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.usatoday.com%2Fnews%2Fopinion%2Fcolumnist%2F2004-09-01-moore_x.htm&partnerID=1660

As I read this meandering peice of drivel, I found the following
exerpt's that show M.Moore's mindset:

"Other fathers and mothers who loved their daughters and sons
across America can no longer celebrate with them. That's
because their children are dead on the streets and roads of
Iraq, sent there by Mr. Bush to "defend" America."

Obviously Mr. Moore does not know of the hundred+ American
servicemen, who die every year; even when we are not engaged
in combat. (auto accidents, training accidents, exposure,
equipment failure,etc.)

"I would like to hear him say tonight, "I'm sorry. There never
were weapons of mass destruction and there never was a
connection between Saddam Hussein and 9/11. There
was no imminent threat, our lives were not in danger, no
missiles were going to hit Cleveland. Because of our desire
to get our hands on the second largest supply of oil in the
world, we sacrificed a thousand of your sons and daughters.
For this, we are greatly sorry.""

This shows that Mr. Moore did not believe the UN reports
on Saddam's WMD's. It also shows that he is still living
(like most liberals including J. Kerry) like 9/11 never
happened. This is the same type of misplaced belief that the
US had prior to Pearl Harbor, when dealing with the Japanese.
And history recorded what happened with that type of thinking.

"Nixon snuck into office in 1968 with his secret plan to end
the Vietnam War. Another miscalculation: The war continued
for years, and thousands more died."

Nixon's election was not even close.
Nixon did at least try to end the war that JFK and the French
got us into in the first place. Amazing how that little fact has
always has been overlooked. But when Tom Brokaw stated
"Why do we have to keep fighting the Veitnam War?"

The answer is people like M.Moore have not gotten over it.
