Dear Editor,
I’m sure David Smith’s conspiracy theory sounded great to him when he thought it up but it only takes a little investigation to show he is wrong on all his basic points, and even lacks any knowledge of the system of checks and balances in the U.S. government.
I’ve grown tired of the minority opinion claiming that because Bush isn’t doing what they want, that he is somehow negating democracy.
Democracy is based on the rule of majority opinion.
It doesn’t matter how loud the minority is or how many protests they hold, a true democracy will go with the majority.
It also doesn’t matter what people believe in other parts of the world.
They are not U.S. citizens and do not have the right to participate in our democracy.
The fact is that nearly three quarters of the U.S. population support Bush.
As far as ignoring the United Nations, the current U.S. military action is merely supporting former U.N. resolutions that they haven’ t followed through with.
Just as the League of Nations proved ineffective in preserving world peace because it was too pacifistic to enforce mandates on someone like Hitler, the U.N. has shown itself to be ineffectual at keeping madmen like Saddam from gaining in military power.
Also, the same system of checks and balances that has always governed U.S. military actions is still in place.
Bush has the full authorization of Congress to carry out the mission that is now being successfully carried out in Iraq.
All the protocol that democracy demands has been fulfilled.
If there was any question about Bush’s election, he most definitely has a majority backing in the United States today, so stop whining about being in the minority.
