Many in America are underestimating the resolve of the murderous cult in the Middle East.
Few people now have maintained the courage to reject the politically correct notion that our efforts in Iraq are both a failure and a mistake.
These are facts that are foolish to deny:
* The campaign in Iraq was not waged illegally. Interestingly, our declaration of independence WAS technically illegal. The whole legal argument is a puff of leftist smoke.
* Although intelligence was flawed, Sadamm had WMDs. We watched him use them. He DID NOT destroy them. The UN with it's impotence, incompetence and arguably sinister designs allowed him the time and opportunity to hide and/or move them. The UN's efforts to find them was a joke.
* Sadaam identified himself as the regime representing the most immediate threat to the world given his mental illness, weapons, and ability. Most of the world and most of the American political machine agreed including the Clintons.
* Fourteen UN resolutions for action were met with Sadaam's middle finger pointing skyward. The worthless UN showed their impotence with no response, which empowered the psychopath and his demonic sons.
* Syria and Iran are shameful players in the effort of global cultic homicide. We don't negotiate with them because they are intrinsically enemies of peace undermining the cause of freedom and social order.
* Ten times the amount of Americans killed in Iraq have been killed in our own streets in the same time frame. They died for NO cause whatsoever.
* If those who misunderstand what's happening and, more importantly, those who selfishly posture themselves for power have their way, we WILL confront the cultic murdering element of radical Islam in our own streets.
* We will most likely not see substantial victory against radical Islamic hatred and violence in our lifetime. We will NEVER see it if we cut and run like cowards.
* Members of the political left do not understand that radical Islamic fascists want them as dead as conservatives simply because they are not radical Islamic fascists.
* The free world is facing its most significant threat since the dawn of time, and refusing to accept that fact.
* Religion is the greatest source of hope and goodness in the world. However, rogue religion (cults), based upon lies, free of all reasonable and logical constraints is the deadliest weapon man has ever known because it sees nothing but its own aberrant purpose.
We need to finish the work of confronting the enemies of freedom in Iraq. It will send a vital message to a very troubled part of the world, and a vital message to those who want to see our destruction simply because we are free. Very few people understand the gravity of what we are actually confronting in Iraq.
God knows it would have been best if no one ever had to die in war. God knows it would be best if children never had to lose their families, homes and countries to human battle. God knows that every single life lost on all sides is a supreme tragedy. God knows our world would be better without war in all its forms. The reality is that God has asked us to love one another and work for peace. Many of us have disobeyed Him. Many of us have decided rather to hate our neighbor and kill our neighbor simply by virtue of his identity. Because we decide this, we have war. When Hitler, Stalin, Milosevic, Hussein, Khomeini, Bin Laden, and others decide to hate their neighbors and demand their deaths, our world continues to see war.
So what is happening in Iraq?
The war in Iraq is over. That is not a misstatement. The work of our military and its coalition has been nothing short of amazing. The psychotic dictator has been removed and his trial has resulted in his execution. His murderous government has been destroyed. The country is in a transitional period on the difficult road to self government. The social and economic infrastructure is progressing. The political infrastructure with its strong cultic influence is exposing itself to the world as the dangerous and volatile threat it certainly is. We are no longer fighting the war in Iraq. We are no longer a nation fighting another nation. We are confronting rather the largest organized criminal and false religious homicidal campaign the world has ever seen. This is why people are still dying there. They're dying because a very sick and twisted band of people who are followers of a genocidal cult will stop at nothing, even their own deaths to kill every Jew and Jewish supporter in the world We also realize that they will kill each other as the twisted definition of "infidel" narrows in their limited cultic psyche. This cult that is active in many Middle Eastern countries sees the situation in Iraq as a prime opportunity to send their message of fear and terror to the watching world. This bloodthirsty cult has been on the offensive against Israel and Western Civilization for centuries. Their efforts have escalated in the past decades. September 11, 2001 was their boldest attempt to advance their plot.
Do you believe the lie that Iraq had no connection to terrorism? When you understand what the world is confronting, you understand that the connection couldn't be clearer. The truth is that the situation in Iraq is drawing the terrorist element to itself like a flower draws killer bees. We're fighting the war on terror there instead of in our streets, tunnels and subways.
But, have we grown complacent? Are we beginning to whine? Our soldiers are in greater danger when we forget the noble purpose of their mission.
We get up each morning, go to Starbucks, then to work, out to dinner, party with friends on Friday night and sleep in on the weekends. 911 was several years ago. It was horrible but time is covering the wound gradually. We simply are, for the most part unaffected by the unfolding plot of the deranged murderers in the Middle East. We are unaffected because someone has been doing a really good job at keeping us safe and protected. But they've done a poor job at keeping us mindful of the danger that threatens our mere existence as a free Western people.
Is 3000 American military deaths reason in and of itself to declare our efforts in Iraq a failure? It seems to be for cowardly self-centered politicians and passive spoiled nations. My father saw more American soldiers die on the beaches of Iwo Jima in the first several hours of his arrival than have occurred in Iraq in nearly four years. That is the simple truth. Nobody in their right mind would look back on the battle of Iwo Jima or Midway Island and imply that because of the lives lost World War II must have been a failure. Why are we seemingly so daunted by the boldness and resolve of the enemy we face in Iraq? Many of us Americans have lost our perspective and our concept of the cost of freedom and liberty. We've lost our appreciation for the sacrifices that are necessary to maintain peace, stability and human dignity.
I believe the vast majority of the political left and also a segment of the "right" who seek higher aspirations for their political futures are refusing to honestly address the real situation we face in the Middle East. I believe this because they are currently out of power and see the manipulation of this crisis as a tool to regain their powerful political posture. The mainstream media seems all too willing to help them with their agenda as they send Diane Sawyer to "diplomatically negotiate peace" with Syria's corrupt president. This is an outrageously seditious act that violates national and global security strategy.
President Bush warned us not to underestimate the terrorists. We are. He understands who we are confronting. He told us to expect that the war on terror would be a long and arduous task. We accepted his warnings then but have forgotten so much since. Perhaps he hasn't reminded us enough. Perhaps we just stopped listening. Perhaps selfish politicians who contradict themselves now for their own benefit are strategizing for personal power instead of security thereby endangering our lives.
The war in Iraq is over. The war on terror of which Iraq is an integral part goes on. The shedding of innocent blood and the pledge of the enemy to shed much more of it is the reason it still goes on. The success of the effort to bring freedom to Iraq is vital and strategic if the free world is ever to effectively confront the raw chaotic evil of genocide promised by the cult of radical Islam.
For you military personnel and veterans who are reading this, I give to you the gratitude of my heart. You are simply the best! You have kept my family safe so my wife and I can focus on raising our seven new Americans. Words are insufficient to express my thanks. You have already done more for our country than I will ever do. God bless you.
For those who have harsh words for the efforts of our military and their noble structure, watch what you say. Al Qaeda has personally verified that your words and sentiments give them strength. For the media who also do this, it seems to be wasted breath. You won't watch what you say because you just don't care.
In 1972, I helped my dad paint the American Legion float for the Memorial Day Parade. On the side were the words: LEST WE FORGET. The message was not simply referring to the lives lost, but the danger of forgetting the noble purpose of freedom, liberty and security as well.
