Don Sutton's Shameful Past

[Archive]

I come to this forum because I deeply enjoy baseball card collecting and all of the various fun and challenges that accompany it. "Politics" is supposed to be off-topic here, but since the thread hasn't been pulled, here is my two cents...

One of my favorite quotes is from George Santayana, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Thankfully, George W. Bush remembers the past. The recent past is 9/11 - our president remembers what Bin Laden did. The slightly distant past is WW2 - our president remembers what Hitler did. When allowing certain types of people to keep feasting on their insatiable appetites for power and murder, then mankind will suffer horrific consequences until those people are stopped. If some of the posters in this thread believe that Sadaam Hussein somehow/someway wasn't going to assist some terrorist into one day igniting some chemical, biological or nuclear device in downtown Tel Aviv, London, New York, Washington, Los Angeles, etc., then that is simply being naive. Thanks to those who remember the past, including our outstanding military leaders and soldiers who understand and remember the past, Saddam Hussein will never get his chance to commit more mass murder.
