Wasting our time in Iraq?
I've read numerous times on these threads, and elsewhere, the liberals'
assertions that we're wasting lives and resources trying to help a bunch of people who hate Americans, and want us to leave, and that the war in Iraq has nothing to do with the war against terrorism.
In fact, most of our military and civilian people there see indications, on a daily basis, that the great majority of the Iraqi people appreciate what we are doing there. The other day,in the city of Najaf, an estimated 1000 people finally worked up enough courage to stage a protest demonstration against the insurgent leader, al Sadr. This is a huge step in the right direction, and I believe that it's only the beginning. Iraq is taking its first baby-steps toward becoming a country where the people will attain the right of self-determination, and enjoy the benefits of capitalism.
I believe that if the above gets achieved, the world will be taking its first baby-steps in the war against terrorism.
