Of course, the people at demoscummic underpants would never admit that we’re actually doing good in Iraq. They’re talking like Jane Fonda and John Kerry did during the War in Vietnam. They’re trying to get us to pull out before the job is done; they’re calling our men in uniform murderers.

Interesting. I was over at Parrot Check and read his beautiful post about WWII and how everyone sacrificed because we were clear on what was at stake. Somehow, with the media spin and the socialists and communists complaining about American imperialism, the message about what we’ve been doing in Iraq has fallen on deaf ears. Too many people are complaining that we went over there for the wrong reasons; nevermind that Saddam Hussein was a middle eastern version of Hitler, complete with many, many mass graves and hundreds of thousands of people he persecuted and tortured, some of whom were ripped out of their beds in the middle of the night. Generations of Iraqis were murdered like this…it will take a long time for the Iraqi people to recover from what he did to them.

Parrot check’s post’s subject is What did you do for your freedom today? He says:

This poster reflects the American spirit of the Second World War. There was a spirit of patriotism that meant more than just exercising your right to free speech and protesting the evils of war. It meant sacrificing. It meant have ration cards for sugar and other things today we take for granted. My grandparents talking about going door to door for metal scrap, etc, in order to build equipment and weapons for the fight against Nazi fascism and Japanese imperialism. Today’s patriots from the right talk about supporting the troops and the war effort. They understand that we did not start this war on terror anymore than we did in WWII. Today’s patriots on the right understand that we must defend this country lest we be defeated and lose our land.

But the “patriots” on the left, oh those great warriors of the Republic, those who claim to support the troops but not the war, those whose ideas of sacrificing for the war effort is to actually go to the land of the enemy to act as human shields. Can anyone else ever imagine an American going to Germany or Japan to act as human shields against the very bombs that were being dropped by American fliers who were dying by the thousands each month. No, the American left generally won’t fight for their country. They’d rather wring their hands over the deaths of insurgents amd celebrate each American casualty.

The poster above asks, “What can I do tomorrow that will save the lives of men like this and HELP THEM WIN THE WAR” (emphasis mine) The left thinks that by running away.. lives will be saved. Yeah, in the short term. Until we face more deaths here at home due to terrorist strikes. We lost 3000 innocent souls in a few hours. The enemy lost 19 cowards. We have lost over 1500 brave heroes in over two years of fighting. The enemy has lost tens of thousands of scumbags. I think that it is better to give than it is to recieve in this case.

That is simply insanity. Running from a fight doesn’t win you anything except maybe to live another day. The Arab world sees STRENGTH, not cowardice, as a winning trait. If we are to command any respect whatsoever, we’re going to have to continue taking the strong position; rather than the Clintonista position of weakness and cowardice. This is going to be a war that’s won over generations; the Islamists certainly see it that way. This is not going to be something that we can turn away from and figure our enemies have given up the fight.

And at Iraq the Model, Mohammed writes about April 9:

I don’t think I need to tell you how close is the 9th of April to my heart. And now, after two years happiness is still the same for me; one person among millions who were freed on that great day.
The 9th of April had turned one of the darkest pages in our history and opened the door wide before the people and their dreams, just as when the idol was knocked down, fear and oppression were knocked down as well.

No day matches you, my brightest day. We will keep reaping your fruits while the entire neighborhood follow your light and wait for other days like you to sweep away the remaining rotten idols.

The 9th of April has proven that the free world now has the guts and the required determination to make the change and throw the legacy of the past century behind its back; dictators shall be endorsed no more and the struggle will continue until humanity is freed from its dark nightmare that lasted way longer than it should have.

The winds of change that have blown away the tyrant in Iraq have begun to reach more and more people everyday and the heroic stand of Iraqis is inspiring freedom lovers in Beirut and Cairo, Kuwait and Bahrain, Arabia and Damascus; people are screaming enough is enough; enough for tyranny, enough for repression and enough for slavery.

Some naysayers and losers will say that terror had marked the past two years in Iraq but we the Iraqis believe that terrorism is merely the defeated remnants of evil fed by the other tyrants who got terrified from the fall of their demonic master. They’re holding onto a weak thread that will soon be broken no matter how hard they try.

Today we can see the idol of terror shaking and losing balance from the powerful strike Iraqis had given it on the glorious election day; the day when the world stood amazed before the extraordinary bravery of Iraqis defying fear and walking through bullets and bombs to say their word and give terror the purple finger.

The 9th of April paved the way for that historic revolution and I think this is more than enough to make us keep this day in our hearts forever.

We have passed the cruel tests of terror, we went to cast our ballots and we’re rebuilding what was destroyed and we’re looking forward to building more and more but most important is that we’re going to write our holy book, our constitution, by ourselves to preserve our freedom and stop tyranny from invading our land again.

After decades of isolation enforced by Saddam on Iraq, today Iraqis come back to join the free world and catch up with what they had missed; slowly but surely.

Some shortsighted people doubt the outcome of this day and think that it’s not suitable to announce it a success but we say to them:
You’re free to think whatever you like, we got on the train, but you’re standing still.

I will save the effort of explaining to them what they missed because several years from now when Iraq becomes a beacon of civilization in the region you will find out the truth solid and clear but unfortunately I’m positive that they won’t admit it and they will try to find another funeral to practice the only hobby they’re good at; whining and weeping.
So today we’re offering a last chance to choose between joining the real world and joining Muqtada and Harith Al-Dhari.

Go and chant with them, condemn democracy and march against freedom if you like but don’t forget that those thugs represent no one but themselves. They rejected democracy from the beginning and missed the chance of joining the greatest election of our time.
And don’t forget that millions of Iraqis had also rejected those fanatics when the people marched to the boxes ignoring the threats and “fatwas”

Those who really represent me and my people are the men and women we voted for and put our trust in; men like Ibrahim Al-Jafari and Jalal Talbani who are grateful for the nations that helped Iraq in the darkest times and freed its people when our “brothers” ignored us and silently watched the Ba’ath murder and torture our people and more worse, gave the Ba’ath a hand more than once.

These are the people who represent us now; they promise us freedom and prosperity and I intend to trust them and believe them as long as they prove to be honest to us but I will never listen to those who want to bring back the rule of the dark ages.

Finally, I would like to say it again and say it loud:
Thank you our liberators.

But the leftists will never read such an eloquent and grateful soliloquy, a solemn testament to all that we’ve suffered, to all that we’ve given, to all that we’ve worked for, on behalf of the Iraqis…no, that is simply asking too much. The progressive left has been wrong on every single conflict since we’ve been engaged in conflicts. Why should they change and learn from their experiences now? They’re insane. And the definition of insanity is:

“Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.”

To me, that’s the perfect definition of the progressive left. They will deny it, they will change the subject, they will attack you. But they will never face the truth; or history; and admit that their view has always been and still is now, a total failure.

Mohammed is right; there will be much to say years from now, when the young generations have been able to breath deeply the sweet perfume of freedom without fear of Saddam’ mukharabat, or the Fedayeen Saddam breaking into their homes and kidnapping and murdering their men…or the Fidayi Saddam–part of what they perpetrated against the Iraqis was the beheading the women campaign, sticking their heads on posts outside so everyone can see…new generations of Iraqis will be born into a completely new and free country. And they will learn how to stand up for themselves; without fear; something they’re struggling with right now after 35 years of not being allowed to do or think on their own.
