Finally, in what I see as the errors of the Iraq campaign, I recognize the worst aspects of arrogant left-wing utopianism: the idea that you can remake a whole society and region through sheer force of will. I think Iraq is a tragic disaster (though for the time being the country is probably better off than it was when Saddam was around--but only, I fear, for the time being).

SOMETHING had to change in the Middle East. Many would say the only thing that is going to save us from them as they become more technically advanced is total annihilation. And to tell you the truth, I think it might come to that.

I'm not one of these muslim bashers around here. I refuse to believe that "Islam is a Death Cult" and "All Muslims are evil". That is assanine. If it was true, we wouldn't be here today because there are 1.6 billion of them. Or, maybe they're the most undermotivated blood thirsty animals imaginable??

Anyway...Back to the point...SOMETHING had to change. Someone had to introduce Democracy into the Middle East. And while doing so, it didn't hurt that we took-out someone who would have LOVED to have helped get nukes to terrorists. Plus, Iraq is one of the less fanatical countries in the Middle East. So...It was an easy choice, especially when you consider the intell we had going in.

My problem with liberals concerning this issue is this...

They don't stand behind America...They stand behind their own thurst for power! Instead of siding with us in our stance against allowing terrorists access to armageddon type weapons, they stand with the "Poor oppressed Middle Easterners who just need to be understood". And God forbid that we actually admit that we need to change the course of radical muslims in the Middle East...If we had done that, the liberals would have been screeching "HOLY WAR!!!"

The way I see it is...

We either do this or nuke the place. Or, we eventually get nuked ourselves. And you damned liberals see that as well...But for some reason you won't side with us???

May God Bless President George W Bush for taking this stance!!!

Nuked by who? Any conceivable enemy MIGHT have less than a dozen warheads. We have thousands. Any country that nukes us would be glass before sunset. Come on. You can come up with a better argument than this for invading Iraq.
