I have a 2-year-old daughter who is my whole world. She is the reason I support President Bush and this war.

I do not want my daughter to grow up in a world that is dominated by a fear of terrorism. I want her to be able to travel anywhere in the world without fear. I don’t think this is asking too much.

Don’t protesters realize it was war that gave them their freedom?

If they are against this country and against this war, then they must support Saddam Hussein and his sadistic government under which his people have no freedom at all.

How can these protesters say that they are patriots? They are completely left of patriotism.

We are one nation and we should stand and support our soldiers, our country and our leader as one nation united. The last thing we need are socialistic, Democrats spewing out anti-American misinformation when we are clearly doing the right thing.

Is it wrong for us to want everyone in the world to experience the same freedom we enjoy? Is it wrong to want a safe world for our children? No. It seems that war is the only way to accomplish these goals.

Remember, we had to fight a massive revolutionary war to become the land of the free and the home of the brave. It took war to make us free and it will take war to ensure freedom for our children, our world and ourselves.
