Ramesh C. Reddy
Pittsburgh Standard

Every time I pick up a newspaper, the headlines are about Democrats who want to bring the troops home by setting a deadline. If you were to interview smart insurgents in Iraq who are aided by terrorist sympathizer nations like Iran and Syria, what would you think their response and action plan would be?

You need not be a genius to figure that out! The problem with the majority of the House of Representatives and Senate is that their policy of appeasement and withdrawal when it comes to Iraq reminds me of those nations that were implicitly responsible for the extermination of 6 million Jews in the 1940’s by the Germans.

When Hitler promoted his Aryan race philosophy and wanted to get rid of Jews or anyone else he deemed less than perfect to live in society, he did have the support of German government under Nazi rule. He used that support for evil. The Holocaust was the result of that because of a government that did not care for people’s lives.

When that was happening most of the nations were trying to have an appeasement philosophy to disastrous consequences. The only time the Allies acted against the Axis Powers of evil was when things got out of hand but most of the damage was already done.

Oh yeah, speaking of damage, former president Bill Clinton was all about appeasement when it came to North Korea and the result is now that they have Nuclear capabilities.

Whatever people like to think and say, I believe if Clinton was not president, 9-11 would have never occurred. Clinton was so focused on domestic issues to please the masses; he seemed to care less about foreign policy and had the worst Secretary of State and National Security Advisor to prove it.

He was also so busy servicing himself with Monica Lewinsky when Hilary Clinton did not have time for him that his invasions of countries were more of a ‘wag the dog’. With the personal dealings and scandals in his administration, supported by liberals who see no problem with homosexuality, abortion, euthanasia, planned-parenthood, American Civil Liberties Union, etc, it is no wonder within nine months of leaving the presidency, this nation was attacked in two places all of which have heavily lined liberal newspapers and population.

The Twin Towers in New York City were attacked and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C was attacked. With liberals so focused on promoting immoral issues, it is no surprise that terrorists were able to plan the 9-11 attacks while the Clinton administration was in office and carried it out during the Bush administration, mind you was weakened in National Security because of his predecessor and cabinet.

No wonder many Americans came to believe that liberals and Democrats are soft on terrorism. How can they be strong when their main focus has always been domestic issues over foreign issues.

One thing conservatives can be proud of Clinton is his signing of an executive order in the military regarding homosexuals that they can serve as long as they do not let others know that they are homosexual. The ‘don’t ask- don’t tell’ policy is one of the best decisions Clinton did in his administration. This policy applies to our service men and women in all areas of military service nationally and internationally.

Speaking of internationally, foreign issues and policies should be handled first before we can be safe at home. War on Terrorism should be at the forefront which means the ‘War in Iraq’ should be fought and finished before the Western World where Judeo-Christian values reign when liberals and Democrats are not in power.

This is not to say that conservative Republicans are perfect for they have their own issues and hypocrisy to deal with but at least they are willing to acknowledge immoral issues out front instead of hiding under civil liberties and rights. That cannot be said of liberal Democrats.

Speaking of liberal Democrats, they are the ones that will be responsible for the continued liquidation of American lives in Afghanistan and Iraq with the help of the liberal media.

When have liberals Democrats really cared for the military? If you research their track record honestly from the time this nation was founded, you would realize that we have always had a strong military presence in Republican administrations and cut-and-run military presence when it came to Democratic administrations or a Democratic House & Senate.

It is a shame that Sen. John Kerry even got the nomination to run against Pres. George Bush when his attitude towards the military was less than honorable. If anything he degraded servicemen & women and War Veterans even though he was in the military. Guess what? John Kerry is as liberal as a Democrat you can get with a mentor like Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts.

Liberals will hold on to any issue that gets them brownie points and run with it.

Do those in the House and Senate really believe bringing our troops home as soon as possible is the right answer?

Once again, it is a cut and run philosophy. American and allied servicemen and women are losing their lives to make Iraq better and help stabilize Iraq and its government to help on the War on Terrorism. This war needs to be fought outside the U.S. before it comes inside the U.S.

It would be a slap-in-the face to the families of the service men and women who sacrificed their lives when we bring the rest of the troops home without the job being finished.

If a soldier is wounded in Iraq, would the House and Senate pass a vote stating that other soldiers should leave Iraq without helping the solider that was wounded?

I do not think so! One of the ways to help the wounded solider would be to help prevent more ambushes, etc. Well, thousands of American soldiers have been fatally wounded.

I guess the Senate and the House wants them to know that ‘they do not care that they have been fatally wounded and died because all they are interested is bringing the unwounded home.’

For me ‘Bring the Troops Home’ is just a political ploy and machine for these liberal Democrats who just think in the present and not future outcomes. The Bush Administration is seeing the big picture with this War in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Wars are not popular and for peace to be attained their needs to be War at times. Lives are lost in wars and that is always sad but those lives that become sacrifices help the rest of the citizens live a safe life.

Iraq is not safe yet because of liberal Democrats and liberal newspapers. I totally believe in that! Islamic websites and fascist nations love to see the dissension in American politics when it comes to Iraq and feed of liberal Democrats remarks, liberal newspapers comments to increase their terrorism.

What liberals are doing is letting the terrorists implicitly know that the timetable is a schedule for them to plan out their attacks and when those attacks can stop. This gives terrorists more motivation in carrying out attacks because they can now count days when the troops will leave.

In a time of War, journalism needs to be curbed and numbers of deaths and causalities should not be reported. It is the reporting of causalities that perpetuates these attacks too because they are getting attention.

If liberal papers and liberal Democrats would just keep their mouth closed when it comes to foreign policy and focus on what they think they are good at, I guarantee these terrorist attacks would stop. These attacks are attention getters. The only ones that needs to know about these attacks is the Pentagon and the Bush administration. The general public need not know unless their loved ones were involved.

Liberal Democrats need to think a hundred times before pressuring Pres. Bush to establish a timetable for the troop’s withdrawal. Pres. Bush is right in being adamant about vetoing any legislation that will hurt our military men and women such as a timetable for troop withdrawal.

What are they thinking?

If conservative Republicans vote for troop withdrawal, they should be ashamed of themselves too and realize the deaths of our troops should be on their conscience too! It is one thing when troops sacrifice their lives to protect others and another thing when its own government puts a bulls eye on them to get killed.

What’s it to say that many troops will even be alive to withdraw when terrorists exactly know when they will be leaving thanks to the liberal Democrats who think they are saving them.

Citizens of America whether you are liberal or conservative, the way to save our troops is let them fight with our support and give our government permission to suppress freedom of press regarding the number of deaths in Iraq for the sake of the safety of our military men and women.

If daily numbers were not reported, then I believe these attacks would stop too! Liberals please stop liquidating lives and get rid of your liberalism that is lustful in areas of sexuality.

It is so thrilling to know that a women who speaks out against immoral issues, lasciviousness and liberalism’s danger to our society is visiting the University of Pittsburgh campus, saturated with liberal professors, this Sunday night of April 01 at 7:00 p.m. in 120 & 121 of David Lawrence Hall Auditorium. The tickets are free so you can be educated on the dangers of liberalism to the state of this nation. Her name is Ann Coulter!

Whether Coulter believes in Biblical conservatism or not, I believe it is the best way to go. In other words, stick to what God says is right and wrong without trying to change things because you are living in the 21st century. I hate liberalism that goes against the Bible but not the person/persons who are liberal because we ought to love one another. Love the person and hate their sin.

"Rick Renounces Reddy's Right Rhetoric"

Editors Note: This letter to the editor is in regards to the article by Ramesh C. Reddy on Liberals Liquidate Lives (March 27, 07, 1:00 p.m.) by Ramesh C. Reddy

To equate the Democrats who are now calling for a troop pullout of Iraq to appeasers knucking under to Hitler is not only inaccurate but it also misinterprets that period in history -- Europeans actually feared Stalin more so than Hitler in those days.  In fact, were communism alive and well today arguably many "conservative Christians" would have made Hitler into an ally for that reason alone.  Besides, there can really be no such thing as a "war on terror" -- you might as well have a "war on sin" because you simply cannot intimidate people into compliance.  The early Christians, and the government who persecuted them, understood that.

Furthermore, it's actually totally inaccurate to blame Bill Clinton for 9/11 because he actually had done considerable intelligence on Osama bin Laden and even wanted him taken out.  But he could have never captured him because the conservative Republicans who hated him didn't want to give him credit for anything good.

Ramesh, this piece is hardly worth reading because it's laced with  innuendo based on conservative ideology and not on cold, hard facts.  It should not have been published.
