Reply #7: We can still win [View All]

By giving up now we will be doing what they want us to. We have to fight on, no matter how bleak things may be. If another attack happens, we can make this one blow up in Bush's face like badly mixed gunpowder. We just have to be bold and aggressive. Giving in to defeat will just ensure that we will fail, and that is NOT an option. The situation looked bleak, but the world has seen darker times. In December of 1941 it looked like the world was going to end and Nazism was going to spread its dark cloak over the entire world. The gates of Moscow were in sight. Britain was barely holding out. Rommel was pushing hard towards Cairo. The US Pacific Fleet was in ruins. The Phillipines and Singapore were crushed and Australia was coming under air attack by Japanese bombers. Any sane military commander at the time would have said, "We are doomed. Surrender is our only option." Then came El-Alamein, Stalingrad, Coral Sea, Torch, Midway, Kursk, the surrender of Italy, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the turning of the tide. What looked impossible was being planned. Allied armies were amassing in the UK to prepare to liberate France. The Nazi war machine in Russia was crushed and the siege of Leningrad was lifted. Japan's fleet was forced back across the sea and the Phillipines were re-taken.

The men and women of the free world at that time won because they refused to accept defeat and believe that victory was possible. IF we give in now then they will be rolling over in their graves in disgust that we have so horribly wasted and dishonoured the sacrifice that they made. 49,421,000 made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for the allied cause. Are you willing to go to them and say that we failed where they succeeded because we gave up without a fight?
