That fight would not be easy. The men and women of the Revolution were prepared to fight for the right to be free. While their loved ones tied yellow ribbons around their trees, the brave men and women of the U.S. military traveled thousands of miles from home, often living in austere conditions and facing both the fear and reality of death. Therefore do not take lightly the perils of war. From conflicts foreign and domestic, Americans have not taken lightly the burden of war, but have recognized it is necessary to protect our freedom.
War is the price for freedom.
We have no other alternative. For us it is a matter of life or death, a matter of living or existing. We have to be ready to face the challenges that await us. Nasser's views no doubt echo those of the Founding Fathers and proves the struggle for freedom continues even in current times. Former President George Bush once stated, after the attempted Soviet Coup of 1991, that freedom and democracy would not easily be put back in the box.
