In Our Name: A Statement of Justice

To Commander-in-Chief George W. Bush, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Joint Chiefs of Staff and all branch members, U.S. Armed Services:

"To be prepared for war, is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace." —George Washington

"National defense is one of the cardinal duties of a statesman." —John Adams

"Whatever enables us to go to war, secures our peace." —Thomas Jefferson

I believe that it is the just right -- and sovereign duty -- of the United States to prosecute terrorist aggressors and their state sponsors around the world. I believe that Patriot Americans should register support for our military's Commander-in-Chief and our armed forces standing in harm's way in defense of our liberty. While military action must, necessarily, be a last resort, I support preemptive war when faced with a clear and present danger to the security of our country, our heritage of liberty, our communities, our families and our posterity.

In the case of Iraq, I recognize that this is not a new war -- it is the prosecution of a dangerous but necessary war front in our nation's ongoing offensive against terrorist aggressors and their state sponsors around the world. I support our President and armed forces in their effort to enforce "regime change" in Iraq, to eliminate the serious threat posed by Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, and to liberate the Iraqi people. I reject the rhetoric of anti-American celebrity, academic and political opportunists, whose real objective is to tear down all that is good and right with America.

Let it be said that, when our President and Congress declared war on terrorism in defense of our nation, American Patriots responded with overwhelming support.
