The Far Left and War

Some on the Far Left are confusing just wars with unjust wars. Afghanistan is a just war. Osama crashed planes into the World trade Center and the Pentagon. He was being habored by the Taliban. We attack the Taliban and drive them from power. See that is what you do when you are attacked and innocent civilians are slaughtered. That Bush has screwed up certain victory by not committing enough troops does not diminish the justness of the war.

Now Iraq is a differect story. It is an unjust war. We went in on phony evidence and drove out Saddam. Excuse me, but I thought the two primary objectives of the war were WMD and regime change. There are and never were any WMD and Saddam is history. So now what is the point? Democracy? Better schools and hospitals? Oil? We are now fighting mostly Iraqis. Many who were oppressed under Saddam. Liberators? Hardly. The Iraqi people are showing that our presence is no longer required. Fine. Let's turn this thing over lock, stock and barrel come June 30th and leave. Wait, what do you mean? We broke it so we own it? Oh yeah, that's what Colin Powell said to Bush prior to the invasion.

The Far Left is now railing against both wars. Their arguments would be more effective if they acknowledged that some wars were necessary even if bungled by politicians. There are valid and cogent points to be made in both cases; however, the United States need never apologize for defending itself. Now making up evidence to go to war is a different issue altogether!

I read all responses. I will post responses along with my reply. Watch raw language. Remember Michael Powell runs the FCC.
