Not last war
Instant pudding, overnight delivery, microwave fast food, Black Berries, quickie divorces: Is it any wonder there is no resolve to fight a costly and mismanaged war, now dragging on for more than three years in Iraq?
News flash. You better get used to it. This isn't the last war. Radical Islam today is creating major threats in and/or from Iran, Syria, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sudan, Somalia, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon and Chechnya, not to mention terrorist attacks in Great Britain, Spain, the Netherlands and the World Trade Center.
Richard the Lionheart and the crusaders didn't finish the war against radical Islam; the colonial British and the French didn't do it; nor did President Clinton or the first President Bush. If we are to finish the war, we must commit any and all necessary troops to Iraq. If not Iraq, where do you want to fight radical Islam? The plague will only replenish itself and spread.
If the war is abandoned, we may satisfy our need for instant gratification. But we will leave our children with a 100 Years War, one to be fought in many countries all over the world.
May God bless, encourage and shelter our troops who are in harm's way.
