"But Dad...he killed her!!" my son exclaims.  "I know he did... but the police tell you to stay out of it. Now I want you to look out that window and pretend you see our neighbor who you're pretending is Saddam turn around and do the same thing to his children."

"Daddy... he kills them?"

"Yes son, he does. What do you do?" "Well, if the police don't want to help, I will go and ask my next door neighbor to help me stop him." our son says. "Son, our next door neighbor sees what is happening and refuses to get involved as well. He refuses to open the door and help you stop him, "my husband says. "But Dad, I NEED help! I can't stop him by myself!"

"WHAT DO YOU DO SON?"

Our son starts to cry. "OK, no one wants to help you, the man across the street saw you ask for help and saw that no one would help you stop him. He stands taller and puffs out his chest. Guess what he does next son?"

"What Daddy?"

"He walks across the street to the old ladies house and breaks down her door and drags her out, steals all her stuff and sets her house on fire and then... he kills her. He turns around and sees you standing in he window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO?"

"Daddy..." "WHAT DO YOU DO?!!!" Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers, "I close the blinds, Daddy." My husband looks at our son with
tears in his eyes and asks him... "Why?" "Because Daddy... the police are supposed to help... people who needs it... and they won't help... You always say that neighbors are supposed to HELP neighbors, but they won't help either... they won't help me stop him... I'm afraid... I can't do it by myself... Daddy... I can't look out my window and just watch him do all these terrible things and... and...do nothing... so... I'm just going to close the blinds... so I can't see what he's doing... and I'm going to pretend that it is not happening." I start to cry. My husband looks at our nine year old son standing in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husbands questions and he tells him..."Son" "Yes, Daddy." "Open the blinds because that man... he's at your front door... "WHAT DO YOU DO?" My son looks at his father, anger and defiance in his eyes. He balls up his tiny fists and looks his father square in the eyes, without hesitation he says: "I DEFEND MY FAMILY DAD! I'M NOT GONNA LET HIM HURT MOMMY OR MY SISTER, DAD! I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM, DAD, I'M GONNA FIGHT HIM!"

I see a tear roll down my husband's cheek and he grabs my son to his chest and hugs him tight, and cries... "It's too late to fight him, he's too strong and he's already at YOUR front door son... you should have stopped him BEFORE he killed his wife. You have to do what's right, even if you have to do it alone, before... it's too late." my husband whispers.

THAT scenario I just gave you is WHY we are at war with Iraq. When good men stand by and let evil happen is the greatest EVIL of all. Our President is doing what is right. We, as a free nation, must understand that this war is a war of humanity. WE must remove this evil man from power so that we can continue to live in a free world where we are not afraid to look out our window and see crimes on humanity. So that my nine year old son won't grow up in a world where he feels that if he just "closes" that blinds the atrocities in the world won't affect him. Today the second day of "WAR on IRAQ" I felt compelled to write this and pass it along. Hopefully, you will understand the lesson my husband tried to teach our son. "YOU MUST NEVER BE AFRAID TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT... EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT ALONE!" BE PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN! BE PROUD OF OUR PRESIDENT! BE PROUD OF OUR TROOPS! SUPPORT THEM! SUPPORT AMERICA! SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS..."
