This is why our soldiers fight and this is why we will win.

This is the middle of the end for the terrorists in Iraq.

Now the people must be led to believe that another group with military and police power is in charge and not to be removed.

Once they accept that, the terrorists are done.

The new government must make their military one of their highest priorities.

This is why our soldiers gave their lives.

May those who gave the ultimate gift rest in peace, with the knowledge that the gift they gave is the gift of life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and hope to fellow human beings.

Great article written by Dr.Walid Phares who is one of the best analysts in Middle Eastern affairs, and he is very much pro-American unlike most analysts from Middle Eastern decent. Another great guy is Dr. Fouad Ajami.

Damn, GW got rid of Saddam, helped the Iraqis form a government and hold elections and write a constitution. All those things the liberals around the world and the UN said he couldn't do. GW has been getting the blame for everything that has happened in the last 8 years, just thought it was fair to give him some credit too.

That was a powerful article. No one can ever overestimate the impact the loss of a loved one in the military has on family and friends. Likewise, no one can ever overestimate the impact on freedom that their sacrifice has had.

I believe a guest on Bill Bennett's show this morning said that the other countries in the middle east are jealous of the freedom that the Iraqi's have, even in the middle of a war. It is this (being jealous) that will cause a great movement in the Middle East towards democracy.

Iraq is leading by example.

Our military is also leading by example. Every soldier who sacrificed is responsible for this great day.
