If you feel that the US should pull out of Iraq please read this and then post your response. For those who feel that the costs are too high to stay in Iraq, I ask this. There is no doubt that if we leave there will be just as much bloodshed as there is now and a new state will be born of terror and malcontent for anything western, including our ideals of freedom and democracy, which, despite what cultural relativists may say, is bar none the greatest idea to ever have been conceived by the minds of mankind. So if we leave we not only abandon the Iraqi people, but the very notion of liberty. They say that the Iraqi people don’t want us there, so we should leave. I feel that freedom for the individual to decide their own fate is not a matter of public opinion, as long as there is one person in Iraq who wishes to be free, democracy must stand, the very essence of democracy, majority rule with minority rights. To those who say we are hindering peace, who was there to stop Hitler’s rein of terror? Who fought gallantly to save a small little country from the horrors of a communist dictatorship? Who said no longer will we sit quietly while a dictator flouts the decrees of the UN, murders people a random and whose presence as a leader is a very mockery of human rights. So before you are quick to say we should leave Iraq to the terrorists and their Iranian masters please think about what will happen. No longer will people die because they want to see their children free from terror, no longer will people be able to speak from the conscious, instead of the consensus. People will die for petty reasons like difference in religion, ethnicity and associations. So, I will end with this question. Is it better that one-hundred people die fighting evil or one person die living in peace with it?
