The German troops working with ours in Afghanistan are doing an awesome job. I thank you for your country's support there.
The easily manipulated are the ones opposed to the war in Iraq. Our mainstream newsmedia and cultural elites as well as our professors are - by a vast majority - against the war and want America weakened on the world stage. They support the UN and the EU and international global socialism.
Why we don't.
Our little naive country has the longest lasting Constitution in world history.
Though our educators, lawmakers and information providers choose to ignore it, our Founding Fathers didn't just base our Constitution, our new nation on man's law.
Our troops are volunteering to risk their own lives in Iraq. They do it because they were awake on 9-11, and they love their families, their freedom, their neighbors - and, usually men and women courageous to serve - they love God. They fight to free a longsuffering people, and to rid the civilized world of some serious enemies of YOUR freedom, whether you believe this or not.
The press - America's press as well - has been lying to the world about the war from day one. I can prove this to you if you're truly interested. Click on my Freepname and scroll down to the bottom for a refresher course.
We are defending OUR freedom and OUR Constitution from those around the world who would break up the foundations of our nation - the strength and goodness of our communities - by breaking up families, and attacking our faith, and undermining our Constitution which limits the governments intrusion into our private lives (is supposed to, but relies on a moral population). Those who prefer the fantasy of a EU-UN socialist Utopia are fighting for something that has never existed outside the Garden of Eden - a stable, free population with MAN creating the rules, assuming self-restraint and morality can be enforced externally - and willingly, ignoring all history and human nature.
Back to Iraq, our troops and the Iraqi people are attempting a very difficult thing after decades of brutality. They are inviting those who would mass-murder innocents into the country where they are taking a stand for all of us, so that no nation or people is forced to appease a mighty and inhumane tyrant, or suffer the death of untold numbers of loved ones due to a WMD in unstable and cruel hands.
They are doing noble work by any decent humane standard. They deserve not only our support, but our gratitude. We can not repay our heroes for the sacrifices they are making for the world's freedom today.
