Default RE:The New Anti-Americanism

How disappointed you will be when Iraq becomes the Middle East's second democracy.

Do our enemies hate us more now than they did before? It's hard to say, but who cares. These people already hated us enough to slaughter us by the thousands on 9/11. They would slaughter us by millions if they could. The "rising tide" of islamic violence against America started long before Iraq. It's ridiculous to assume that the problem would have gone away if we simply decided to let Saddam stay in power.

It's unfortunate that freedom in Iraq must come through violence, but I really see no other way. Saddam exerted such a violent and suppressive influence that no democratic uprising could ever have taken place in Iraq without US military intervention. Americans have dies, and many more will surely die before Iraq is truly free. But there is scarecly a more noble sacrifice than a soldier who gives his/her life in the name of liberty. In a short time, the Arab world will be able to look at Iraq as a model of how freedom and democracy can lead to great prosperity. The bright shining star of the middle east will soon spread the influence of freedom over all the lands where evil hides.

Sadly, the liberation has not been as quick and painless as most of us would have liked it to have been, although it is not nearly as bad as the press and others on the left would like to beleive. Yet future generations will view the liberation as just a nanosecond compared to the upcoming decades upon decades of free and democratic Iraq. America has ripped the band aid off a festering, infected wound and are finally applying the needed medication to heal a sick and broken society. The faint of heart wail and cry about the pain and wish that the band aid was placed back on. Well it's not going back on. George Bush is going to fix this shit once and for all.

Myopic my ass.

We'll be here when you're done crying.
