The world loves to point fingers at those who actually “do” something. Even in the work environment. If you sit and smile and nod, you’ll go farther than those who take chances and possibly fail.
I’m 35 and I grew up watching the Iran hostages paraded on TV and I believe Carter did nothing. I would have leveled a town in Iran every day until the hostages are released. He did nothing and received no criticism for it. History forgives him. Clinton, had the opportunity to get Bin Laden, he did nothing.
Bush acted, he tried the route of the UN, a resolution was passed, when it came down to it, the UN, did nothing. We did not randomly invade Iraq, we went though the diplomatic channels and they failed. The president is bound by the Constitution to act upon any threat to the US. It was not just Bush’s administration that identified Iraq as a threat, it was Clinton’s as well. But Clinton, did…nothing.
The media loves to point fingers at those who act. Post 9/11, the US needs to act, not react. Bush is in a damned if you do damned if you don’t position. Its too late to act after citizens die. We live in a dangerous world that requires action.
Kerry is the exact opposite of action, he is re-action and indecision. There is no time for that in this world.
Moore has very right to make that film, citizens have every right to do their own research and make their own decisons on the proper direction for this country.
