[ Editors Note: Uncle Ralph has been troubled in the last couple of weeks with what has been going on in Iraq and some of the comments that have been made here at home. Fair warning, what follows is far more serious than he has been in quite some time. ]
Camel Face
Dear Uncle Ralph,
Me and my buddies went out drinkin last night and got in an argument. Now I need your opinion.
Bubba (not his real name) said that John Kerry is soft of terrorism because his ancestors come from the middle east. When we asked him why he thought his ancestors came from the middle east he said because John Kerry’s face looks like a camel. We could all agree that he looks like a camel but most of us thought that don’t matter. What do you say?
Hank (not my real name either)
Dear Hank,
I guess I never noticed that he looks like a camel before. So I jumped on the Internet and looked for a picture of him. I found one here on his DOT gov page. http://kerry.senate.gov/bandwidth/home.html
Yup. He looks like a camel.
But that doesn’t make him soft on terrorism. But you bring up an interesting point. I’ve known several people who own dogs that looks just like them. So I developed a theory that suggest that people are attracted and tend to identify with people or animals that look like them. So, per the theory, John Kerry may identify with some people of the middle east because they have camels.
Enough fun.
So now I’m gonna make some comments that may cost me a lot of my readership. So for those of you that may have a problem with what I am about to say and get mad enough at me to drop the news letter here is the link to do that: http://www.askuncleralph.com/News-letter/news-letter-signup.htm
Senator Kerry, I’ve been to ground zero. (http://www.askuncleralph.com/archive/March-30-2003.htm) I also have nephews and friends in Iraq. It hurts me to think that the presidential candidate of my chosen party would suggest that we shouldn’t take care of what needs taking care of. There are a lot of bad people out there that want to hurt us. They hated us before 9/11, they hated us before Iraq and they’ll hate us after Iraq. To suggest that we subordinate the protection of our wives, husbands, and children to the United Nations is brain dead. If the Germans, Frogs or any other country don’t wish to help us, then too bad. We need to take care of our own country, our own people and we need to do what needs done.
Senator, I also have watched the news in horror as a minority of Iraqi people have sent several of our good men home in coffins. It scares me to think that someone I love may come home in such a way. But Senator, these are men that have given their lives to protect me. I’m not forgetting that. The loss of their lives has meaning and I look forward to the day when not just Americans but all the world can live without fear that I or someone I love will die because of a terrorist bomb. Isn’t that what you want?
I recently had to have a very frank discussion with one of my nephews, Brad. He has decided on joining the military. I pointed out to him the realities of war, what the military is really about: To kill people and break their stuff. I explained that he may be asked to look the bad guy in the eye and pull the trigger. This is not an easy task for anyone who believes that life is precious. And I also explained that the bad guy will also try to kill him. He understands. He knows what will be asked of him. He also loves his country. He wants to go.
We’re not done with our job yet. Lets deal with what we have to deal with, hand Iraq back over to them as planned and move on. To give up now is to give the country to a handful of brutal people who have just learned the lesson that America will run if things get tough. Next time they will make things tough right here in America again. Do you really want another 9/11?
Yes, I abhor the loss of American lives. But look at your own state, Senator. How many police men and women have died in your state while protecting your communities? Do you withdraw the police because of their deaths? No. You do what needs to be done to protect the lives of the innocent. So it is in Iraq. The difference is that right now the bad guys are over there and not here. Don’t pull out so they can regroup and come back here.
Senator, I support our troops. I support them doing what needs to be done. I will mourn the loss of our sons, daughters, nephews, nieces, grand children and friends. But their sacrifice is for us and I know it. Don’t you?
