Why are the Iraqi voices still so distant for the chattering classes in the West?

The Iraqi people are tolerable casualties in the Left's ongoing battle to make the world un-safe for true democracy.
The Left would prefer to ignore the urgent cries for help as it only makes [insert GOP President name here] correct in his endeavors.

Your post is accurate, realistic, factual & just damn good, Joanie.

Mud, conservativemusician, jla – thanks for the kind comments. :)

Dan – I’m going to have your comments (#555) inscribed on my tombstone (we all know how it’s common practice to chisel positive, not-necessarily-entirely-deserved stuff there). Couldn’t leave the house today after reading them .... head swelled too much to fit through the door.

Let's hope tomorrow brings us one day closer to liberating the people of Iraq, and rendering the rest of the world less susceptible to the vagaries of one madman (and may he not rest in peace). Then, while setting up a post-Saddam regime, we can at least begin to turn our attention east to Kim Jong Il. The art of military/political juggling is precarious these days, and there seems to be no shortage of powerful, high-profile madmen, hell bent on diverting our attention, and dictating our priorities.

He needs our prayers tonight.

Good night, all.
