The other day, my nine-year-old son wanted to know why we were at war. My husband looked at our son and then looked at me. My husband and I were in the Army during the Gulf War and we would be honored to serve and defend our country again today. I knew that my husband would give him a good explanation.
My husband thought for a few minutes and then told my son to go stand in our front living room window. He told him: "Son, stand there and tell me what you see?"
"I see trees and cars and our neighbors houses." He replied.
"OK, now I want you to pretend that our house and our yard is the Insert name of your country that is in the war or supports the war here, you can even say "coalition" here and you are Title and name of your countries leader here, or the commander in chief of the coalition."
Our son giggled and said, "OK."
"Now son, I want you to look out the window and pretend that every house and yard on this block is a different country." My husband said.
"OK Dad, I'm pretending."
"Now I want you to stand there and look out the window and see that man come out of his house with his wife and he has her by the hair and is hitting her. You see her bleeding and crying. He hits her in the face, he throws her on the ground, then he starts to kick her to death. Their children run out and are afraid to stop him, they are crying, they are watching this but do nothing because they are kids and afraid of their father. You see all of this son, what do you do?"
"Dad?"
"What do you do son?"
"I call the police, Dad."
"OK, pretend that the police are the United Nations and they take your call, listen to what you know and saw but they refuse to help. What do you do then son?"
"Dad, but the police are supposed to help?" My son starts to whine.
"They don't want to son, because they say that it is not their place or your place to get involved and that you should stay out of it," my husband says.
"But Dad, 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.
I understand that only two other countries have committed troups. This paragraph really does not represent those two countries. What are the other 40 countries doing? Supporting the war but doing nothing. Its kind of like saying to your friend, I support your effort in getting a job, just don't ask me to commit any time to your effort, I won't drive you to your interviews or proofread your resume, etc. Really, what kind of support is that?
"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 the
window and laughs at you. WHAT DO YOU DO?"
"Daddy."
Our son is crying and he looks down and he whispers, "I close the blinds, Daddy."
My husband looks at our nine-year-old son standing in the window, looking pitiful and ashamed at his answers to my husband’s 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 his 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. Your Title of your countries leader here 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" those 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 NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE! BE PROUD OF TITLE OF YOUR COUNTRIES LEADER HERE, ONLY IF THEY SUPPORT THE WAR! BE PROUD OF YOUR TROOPS! ONLY IF YOUR COUNTRY SENT YOUR TROOPS SUPPORT THEM! SUPPORT NAME YOUR COUNTRY HERE! SO THAT IN THE FUTURE OUR CHILDREN WILL NEVER HAVE TO CLOSE THEIR BLINDS.”
