And this, from a man in Michigan who signs off, "Semper Fi."
"I want to cry.
"I want to weep with joy for the newly liberated citizens of Iraq, who, now free, no longer feel compelled to chant canned slogans in support of a murderous tyrant who cut out the tongues of those not chanting loud enough.
"I want to laugh.
"I want to laugh out in glee and in ridicule of the French, the Germans, the anti-war protesters in America, who [effectively] sided with a murderous tyrant who stole the wealth and pride and liberty of an entire nation. I want to guffaw and snicker and hoot at the gray-beard professors and the racist leftists who insisted that Arabs don't want freedom, aren't sufficiently evolved for democracy, will respond with terror to attacks on a terrorist. I want to drink beer, and then piss vigorously on their signs and on their cheap slogans.
"I want to cry.
"I want to cry for the Iraqis who, over the past 25 years, have had to cower in fear for their lives, for the lives of their family members, and for the loss of human dignity that was denied them because one evil man wanted to control the destiny of 25 million human beings, and because we have not until now had the courage to kill him.
"I want to laugh.
"I want to laugh with the British and U.S. Marines and the soldiers now in Baghdad, who expected and trained for a fight against fanatical Republican Guards, against citizen militias, against chemical attacks that never came, who have survived the mission and liberated an entire nation, and who now welcome an onslaught of incoming flowers, the embrace of joyously grateful citizens, the pride of stoic and professional Anglo-American accomplishment.
"I want to cry.
"I want to cry with the families of the Americans whose sons will not enjoy the gratitude of a newly freed nation, who have paid in full the price of liberty so that others may live in freedom.
"I want to laugh.
"I want to laugh at the armchair generals and the pampered, purse-lipped media, who after only days proclaimed a 'quagmire,' a 'failure of planning,' a 'disaster in the making.' I want to throw a brick through my television, and dance with Chaldeans in the streets of Dearborn.
"I want to cry.
"I want to shed tears for my country, tears of pride, tears that show that I understood and argued and always believed that this war was always about freedom for Iraqis and security for Americans. This war is not over, and there is still much work to be done, but no one can now say that we haven't won it. The legions of liberated Iraqis who now freely, openly, chant 'Bush! Bush! USA!' in the center of Baghdad confirm it.
"Never forget the brutality of this regime, the torture chambers, the rape rooms, the terror training camps, the summary executions, the weapons of mass destruction — and never, never forget that we were right to destroy it.
"Finally, let this victory be a guide for our future when murderous tyrants again dare challenge a free and resolute America.
"I want to cheer!
"Semper Fi."
