Iraq is Ending. Where Is The Celebration?

I for one think that the withdrawal  of our combat troops from Iraq, should be met with a great deal of joy and celebration. If a white Republican President had accomplished the elimination of Bin Laden, several other high ranking terrorists and the end of our men and women in combat they would be preparing Mt. Rushmore for a new face. This President was handed one of the worst economic disasters in American history, two wars and a group of politicians that are willing to destroy America, just to defeat him, in his bid for re-election. He has responded with dignity and policies, that has and will continue to turn the tide of America's fortunes. He has ended combat in a war that has lasted for a decade and yet there are idiots, (short term for Republicans) that are sounding off about the disaster that will befall Iraq, with us leaving. I have believed, since Barrack Obama was elected, that the people that attack him do so for one reason and one reason only. The white power base is concerned that if a black man succeeds in the White House, it will open the way for a, shudder, woman to next hold the office of President. He will have proven, what we all should have known, that a person of color, or a female can run this country as well or better, then white men. Bigotry is a despicable trait, but one that has risen it's ugly head, and we need to cut that head off. I personally do not care if a person is black, white, Hispanic, Mormon, Catholic, Baptist, Muslim, male, female, gay or belonging to any other group you may identify, if they are able to move our country forward. Wealthy, white men have had their share of foul ups in running America and have done some great things along the way. One thing they are not very good at is giving up power. That is at the center of all of this. Today we need to celebrate the cessation of combat situations for our men and women in uniform. We need to thank them for doing their duty and our President for finally getting them out of Iraq. We need to tell the people on the right, such as John McCain, Lindsay Graham, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and the big liar himself, Dick Chaney to shut up and be grateful that this war is winding down. They all need to join in the effort to bring peace to all corners of the world and support the idea of strength through compassion. Finally we need to come together as one nation, and once and for all eliminate the disease of discrimination from our land. The Constitution sets the framework and guarantees the rights of all, even our black President.
