We as a nation are facing an election this November that will determine the outcomes of wars and set the tone for international relations for generations. The track record for the Republican dominated administrations since 2001 has been nothing short of a disaster.
On September 11, 2001 a group of terrorists attacked the innocent civilians of the USA that resulted in wide ranging effects, including financial turbulance. As a result, the USA has never been in such a poor state of security. Our military has been diverted from its mission that was to stop and destroy the terrorists of al Qaeda, into a war for oil. Our nation's treasury has never been so badly managed with rising debt ceilings and growing insoluble debt. We are faced with estranged allies that were once at our side and what allies do remain are feeling the defeat of the war in Afghanistan.
This nation cannot ignore the fact that there is one Presidential Candidate that was dedicated to the purpose of defeating al Qaeda first, as a national security issue. That one Candidate is Barak Obama. He voted against the War in Iraq and supported the War in Afghanistan. No other person can make that claim. If the country had gone on the path set by Barak Obama, the USA would have already defeated al Qaeda, secured Pakistan and kept its alliance with Russia with diplomatic relations that would have supported a secure Europe and NATO.
Today, the USA's national security is in shambles. Afghanistan has been lost to the influence of democracy because of tragic deaths of citizens and the resurgence of the Taliban. The resurgence alone of the Taliban is a clear defeat of any USA policy as it relinquished the 'real war' to NATO. Russia has turned from The West as an important ally when they once stood at our side in Afghanistan after the attacks of September 11th. Europe is concerned for what they are preceiving as aggression into Georgia. The Russian movement into Georgia was not blunted because of 'good relations' with The West, but, was engaged because of the threat a missile shield would pose while it preceived South Ossetian people as at risk.
This election, every voter going to the polls has to remember, that the Republicans did not secure our nation. They compromised it and sold it out fiscally to buoy an economy for the re-election of a Neocon that could not be found on the day the towers came down.
Generations of Americans now face fiscal burden our ancestors would distain and ridicule. My father didn't fight for this country so it could be grossly mismanged and placed at risk for the cause of politics.
We need a huge change in Washington DC and there is only one candidate that can deliver it. It is the man that stated, invading Iraq is wrong.
