Imagine if you can a ideology that hates American’s and their way of life.  Imagine that same ideology slowly grouping together over a couple of decades getting stronger and stronger until they are a united front.  They then train and recruit others with the same beliefs, or instill their beliefs on them through force.  They then send spies into our country to find our weaknesses.  They use any all ‘inner fighting’ amongst Americans against us in order to bring down the moral of the population as well as the military.

What group do you think I am talking about?  I am talking about Communism.  However, it could also be Nazism or maybe even the early days of the Ku Klux Klan.  It could also be the Islamic Extremist.

There was one city with a wall down the middle that proved to be the crack which eventually brought down the dam.  Americans united together to the betterment of the common good.  Not just for American’s but people being oppressed by communism all over the world.

Imagine the 34 years it took to unite Germany.  There were food rations, gas rations, families separated and a nation destroyed.  While West Germany prospered, East Germany became a weary place to live.  Much like North and South Korea today.  However, Americans of a different generation held firm remaining united through our beliefs and values of freedom.

What if Iraq is our generations Berlin?  We may not have personally started this fight, but can’t we hold firm and do what is needed for a few years?  Our parents generation gave 34 years to the cause, and here many of us are now, as spoiled brats complaining that it is taking to long to rebuild Iraq.  Grow up kids, this isn’t the play ground.
