| We Win |
We live in the greatest nation that has ever existed. We live in the United States of America. We are winners. We don't understand losing -- it's not part of our culture.
We defeated the British not once, but twice. We sent them packing in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
We defeated Mexico in the Mexican-American War.
We defeated Spain in the Spanish-American War.
We defeated the Philippines in the US-Philippine War.
We put tyranny in it's place in World War I. We kicked it out of Europe, North Africa and Asia in World War II.
We contained two nuclear world powers and quashed a communist rebellion in the Korean War.
The Vietnam War was a complicated anomaly that deserves a couple of posts of explanation, but I digress.
We won the Cold War, reuniting West Germany and East Germany. Ultimately, winning the Cold War began the downfall of communism in the USSR.
During Operation Desert Storm the US kicked Saddam out of Kuwait and completely dessimated seven Republican Guard divisions in less than four days -- 23,000 dead Iraqis and 148 Americans killed in action.
In 13 days, the US overthrew Taliban leaders and liberated Afghanistan. 78 days after the beginning of combat operations the Afghan interim government was inaugurated. Russia spent nearly ten years trying to accomplish the same thing.
Not only did we win in Operation Iraqi Freedom, but we're teaching the Iraqis how to win. And it starts with the elections this week.
"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle-victorious." - Vince Lombardi |

We truly are a nation that has a pension for war. For example: the war on obesity, the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on terrorism, the war on Martha Stewart. I mean come on we are the only nation in the world that I know of that has bombs and rockets in it's national anthem! Go U.S.!
