To avoid the dilemma of whether this war should take place or not...., I often say to myself: "How good if the Iraqis would get free of Saddam Hussein by themselves. How good if they would execute him and hang up his body by the feet as in 1945 we Italians did with Mussolini."
...
...contrary to the pacifists who never yell against Saddam Hussein or Osama bin Laden and only yell against George W. Bush and Tony Blair, ...I know war very well.
....
The second reason is that this war should not happen now. If just as I wish, legitimate as I hope, it should have happened one year ago. That is, when the ruins of the Towers were still smoking and the whole civilized world felt American. Had it happened then, the pacifists who never yell against Saddam or bin Laden would not today fill the squares to anathematize the United States.
...
September 11 was the excruciating confirmation of a reality which had been burning for decades, the indisputable diagnosis of a doctor who waves an X-ray and brutally snaps: "My dear Sir, you have cancer."
...
Europe is no longer Europe. It is a province of Islam, as Spain and Portugal were at the time of the Moors.
...
A humanitarian war to bring freedom and democracy to Iraq." Oh, no. Humanitarianism has nothing to do with wars. All wars, even just ones, are death and destruction and atrocities and tears. .... It is a political war. A war made in cold blood to respond to the Holy War that the enemies of the West declared upon the West on September 11.

Ah, the reason is found in one word: Logistics.
just like Kerry thinking we should not have "Outsourced" Afghanistan (it would have taken months to send an army there, with no nearby ports and no airports)
Indeed, the reason we are fighting there now instead of last May is because Turkey denied our troops access to come in from the north, and it took them 60 days to sail around and go up thru Kuwait.
I just wish once these experts bothered to learn even basic battle tactics...
So glad to see this again. It is bookmarked for many future reads. Her voice is so eloquent and passionate. Thanks.
