History shows that at times War is necessary

War has been, down through the ages, in defense of ones nation, has always been inevitable, to secure ones society and lifestyle. As Winston Churchill once said "Still if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case, you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to parish than to live as slaves." In short, and like it or not, there will come a time when you are not given an option to fight or not. Talk has in matters of war, been greatly exaggerated. If you go back, you will, for most times, find that you cannot talk one out of a fight. In anger or when otherwise provoked, reasoning with your protagonist/enemy is all to often, out of the question. Unless one is ready and willing to stand up for himself, others or even his/her country, you will soon be vanquished by your adversaries. George Washington, in his Farewell address to our country said it loud and clear--that is that: We must always be prepared for war! Today Obama is preaching 'talk' as the preferred choice in ending conflicts. The idea that you must first talk to a potential enemy before you go to war is shown in our history that, that is the first option is Wong! History shows, that President Roosevelt was talking to two Japanese ambassadors, at the time, Japan, was attacking Pearl Harbor. It was talk being used as a subterfuge to hide the fact that we were about to be attacked. Today, we always say "Lets remember Pearl Harbor" in order that we will never forget it, as well as how we were deceived by Talk! For one with so little knowledge of our history he, Obama, sure talks a lot! "Every absurdity has a champion to defend it, for error is always talkative." Oliver Goldsmith The messenger.
