Click here for an excellent article from Peggy Noonan on OpinionJournal.com regarding the terrorist attacks and subsequent defiling of victim's bodies in Iraq. Ms. Noonan rightly points out two key points, first about those who were murdered:
"The Americans who were murdered were, according to the wires, working for a security company, a North Carolina-based subcontractor hired by the U.S. government, among other things, to guard convoys.
The convoys carried food. They carried it to Fallujah."
They were trying to help these people, and their response is murderous.
The second is the response the cowardly murderers expected:
"It is not a stretch to imagine the young murderers of Fallujah had this on their minds: Do it again to America, kill them and string up their corpses, because when you do this America leaves.
And so this time the response must be the opposite of the response in Mogadishu."
If we truly were the despotic imperialists the Left makes us out to be, we would roll into Fallujah with tanks, round people up and shoot them in the streets. The reason we don't is because we are not trying to conquer Iraq, we are liberating Iraq.
The cowardly lions on the Left, full of empty bluster and self-declared wisdom, would have us flee. President Bush understands that to retreat is to, in the eyes of these thugs, show weakness. Like school yard bullies, showing weakness invites more violence. The only thing the cheering bullies in Fallujah understand is the clenched fist.
