After all, they’re the only reason we’re still fighting in Iraq.

It’s frustrating to see the media turn a blind eye to the nature of the crimes and open fire on an honest endeavor to restore peace to a bleeding nation. I’m sure the terrorists are pleased by the coverage. Why not, when their crimes are being portrayed as successful breakthroughs against the efforts of Iraq and America it’s likely motivating them to keep up the killing.

Would it be “hate speech” to expose the terrorists for what they are?

I think our hate for their crimes must not be hidden; there is no shame in hating those blood-thirsty monsters.

Even more appalling I see and hear some people who think the solution is to end the war from our end and I can’t find an argument more naïve than this—I’ve seen enough wars in my life that I can’t remember a day when there was peace and I hate wars more than they can imagine. But we didn’t start his war; it’s the terrorists who started this war against life.

Instead of telling us to stop fighting back, I’d like to see some people stand up and protest the crimes of the terrorists and tell them to stop the killing and destruction…turn the stop-the-war campaign against the terrorists, is that too much to ask for?

Tell the criminals to stop killing us and stop attacking the people who are risking their lives fighting for liberty and equality.

We’re not asking the media and the stop-the-war crowd to carry arms and shoot the terrorists; we just want them to stop shooting at us.

Not even the most ardent anti-war critics talks of the possibility of the terrorists setting down their weapons.  Those anti-war critics lambaste our President and our troops for the violence in Iraq, but when was the last time you heard one of them criticize the people who are actually causing that violence?  Planting those IED’s?  Killing those civilians?

It doesn’t happen.

When a shooter attacks one of our college campuses and kills 30+ people we blame the guy who did the shooting.  We point out that he was deranged, angry and murderous.  Yet when 30+ civilians are bombed to death in some Baghdad neighborhood the media and the left blame the President and his foreign policy.  But again, shouldn’t we be blaming the people doing the bombing?  And encouraging both Iraqis and our troops to fight against such monsters?

Since we invaded Iraq we’ve spent a lot of time talking about the morality of fighting this war in Iraq, but few people talk about the morality of not fighting it.  Of abandoning our Iraqi friends to the machinations of those evil terrorists.  If we leave Iraq early there will be chaos and wholesale slaughter, but those calling for withdrawal don’t want to talk about that.
