Why We Died

I was gun-ho for the war in Iraq. And for good reason obviously. No, I never fully bought the WMD reason. Of course Iraq had WMD...jesus...we GAVE it to him to fight Iran back in the 80's!! No, rather I knew history had opened her window and if Hussein wasnt taken down now, within 5 years we would be dealing with a nuclear problem. One much more serious than North Korea...one where this manic would not even blink about lobbing a nuke at Israel or Kuwait or Saudi...hell if he had the range..even at London. Hussein was a madman that no political leader prior was willing to deal with in finality. Until George W Bush.

Hate or love him...I dont care. The point is, he did what no other political leader (either Republican or Democrat) would do before...take out a madman. Tonight (Iraq's today) as I watched millions of Iraqi's go to the polls to vote, AND go to vote under threat of death, I now understand why our Soldiers died. I throw up a prayer to them and thank them...they may have changed the world and we dont even know it yet.

You, too, might throw up a thank you to the Soliders who died so those of us here today saw History march forward in a positive way.
