"It is our duty, all of us, everyone who cares to reverse the national decline of our knowledge and understanding of history, and to renew a true appreciation of this great country, why it became great and what will keep it so." -- Sen. Robert Byrd

Arrogant Stupidity

Yesterday, I posted a letter written by Alan D. Kirby of Delhi. His subject today is “Cut and Run”. Mr. Kirby writes: “Custer didn't cut and run. On that day, we lost one egomaniac and over two hundred and fifty brave troopers under his arrogant stupid leadership. Does it ring a bell?

Folks we're losing brave young Americans every day. Just what are we cutting from and what are we running from? Our brave young servicemen have more then met their obligation to their commander in chief. It is now the responsibility of this administration to justify to the American people their agenda in Iraq.

It is our duty to stop our complacency and stand united against this war and the administration that perpetuated it. It's time to lock arms and say no to this arrogant stupidity.”

Ironically, in his book, "Sleeping with Custer and the 7th. Calvary", Walter Rodgers wrote: "You can't just graft democracy as if it were a peach tree branch onto a pine tree. Democracy is a cultural thing."

Rogers quotes an Iraqi Muslim as saying: "We don't want your democracy. We have a perfect law as it is, the Sharia, Muslim law. We don't need Western cultural arrogance imposed on us."

Alan Kirby and Walter Rogers agree with Pennsylvania Rep. John Murtha’s solution to the war in Iraq. Nearly a year ago Murtha insisted: “The United States and coalition troops have done all they can in Iraq. It's time for a change in direction."
