Arabs have equated us with Israel for decades. That is why they have been killing us for 3 or 4 decades now. They have been at war with us for thirty years. We have just tried to ignore it and go on about our business until now. Those days are over.
We are taking a stand for ourselves, and our values, and our interests. If Iraq was our first proxy war on behalf of Western Civilization, there is still room on our dance card for more. Who's next?
The war [on Iraq] was primarily for Israel's sake.
The Iraqi regime was allied with the Soviets, has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of it own citizens, invaded two of its Muslim neighbors, threatened two others with invasion, supported an insurgency in yet another muslim neighbor that cost the lives of yet another thirty thousand muslims, we will be digging up the bone yards from this monster for years to come, but only the US and Israel had an interest in bringing his regime to an end. If this is true, this is a terrible admission on the part of an Arab and Muslim. It means that the slaughter of Muslims is of no consequence to a Muslim. It means that evil has no meaning to a Muslim. This may be true but I would have been ashamed to admit such a thing in print.
