I am tired of people bashing the war in Iraq. What I hate even more is how people say that this war is about oil. It's not about oil. We are back in Iraq to finish what we started in the first Gulf War. We've been attacked by terrorists. We are taking the fight to the terrorists on their grounds, not ours. we are protecting our nation from terrorist attacks. There is a cost for this war. Like any other war, people die. The men and women who make up our armed forces are unique in this day and age. They all volunteered to serve in our military. Nobody forced them to sign up. They did it on their own free will. They knew that there is a possibility that we could go to war. They knew that there was a possibility that they may not come home alive.
The facts in this war is that Iraq harbored terrorists. Al Quada opperatives have been captured in Iraq. Terrorist training camps have been destroyed in Iraq. Iraq had weapons that they were not supposed to have under the terms of the cease fire from the first gulf war. They used them against the US and British troops. Iraq had chemical weapons. Why else would they burry chemicals in the desert.
Whether you support the war or not, it is important to support the men and women who make up our armed forces. They are performing a thankless task to protect the freedoms that we enjoy and our way of life.
Remember one thing, without our troops fighting terrorists in the Middle East, they would be fighting terrorists on our front doorstep. |
