A post from March 2007:
If you hate Bush and the US then the Iraq War is a convenient account to deposit every ounce of anti-Americanism.
If you love the truth and history, then Iraq looks a little different.
Of course, there is violence. We are fighting people who kill innocent people.
Yet, there is a positive story.
Iraq's Accomplishments in Perspective By Austin Bay looks at Iraq and sees something more than the violence that the media loves to put on our TV screens:
"In terms of fundamental historical changes favoring 21st century freedom and peace, what Free Iraq and its Coalition allies have accomplished in four short years is nothing short of astonishing.Consider what Iraq was, not simply in A.D. March 2003, but in 2003 B.C. Both historical frames provide instructive lessons in the obvious."So stand back, get over anti-Americanism and take a hard look at the truth:
"The Iraqi people are earning their victory and their liberty. The price for both is inevitably paid in blood, sweat and toil. At this point in history, they need American patience."The Iraqis are in this fight and they are fighting!
They are also voting, as we saw 3 times.
