I have always found it interesting when watching the anti-Iraq war protesters that their message is really that of selfishness and separatism. They don’t think of the hundreds and thousands losing their lives where the war is being fought and don’t think about how we do live in an international setting and the seas that create the great gap between us and others no longer matters. I can understand the desire not to wage war and save our solders lives, but at the expense of other innocent people? Children and mothers? That was done in the late ’30s by Europe and this country and look what horrid things happened in Germany by Hitler. Man, you don’t have to live the mistake to learn from it, people.

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the LA Times had an interesting article on their site called Peace Is Not the Answer. William Shawcross asks some great questions of which you never hear on the greater media or people like Cindy-the-puppet asking. In brief, he writes:

IT SEEMS UNLIKELY that many of the so-called peace marchers who trooped through Washington and London two weekends back listened on Thursday — at least not with an open mind or sympathy — to George Bush’s cogent explanation of why coalition troops are fighting and dying in Iraq.

You did not see in those demonstrations, after all, many banners reading, “Support Iraq’s New Constitution,” “No to Jihad” or “Stop Suicide Bombers.” The crimes committed daily against the Iraqi people by other Arabs who wish to re-enslave them seem to be of little interest to Michael Moore, Jane Fonda and their followers. Rage against the daily assaults on children, women, anyone, by Islamo-fascists and ordinary national fascists is not fashionable. Only alleged American crimes are cool to decry.

No matter what you think about the war and why we’re there, the fact is, we are there. If we leave now, things will only become worse and I mean way worse. More children and adults will be not killed, but slaughtered. If Cindy really cares about Casey — whom signed up for a second time in the Armed Forces — then she’d know it’s not about him but about them. If we can care about animals with Green Peace and PETA, how can we not care about human beings?

I encourage you to read this excellent commentary that I believe sums up this whole effort perfectly. If you still don’t understand the reason we can’t leave, then include “Yes to Jihad!” in your next anti-war protest…you’re only helping their cause.
