Hi Bill, as a few of us said months ago. It didn't really matter whether every fear of the anti-war crowd was completely unfounded. They will never admit they were wrong, just as they will never admit they were wrong about Reagan's successful foreign policy endeavors.
Millions of decent people are now free to chart their own course. Millions have been released from a living hell. Millions now have the opportunity to hope and build a better future for their children. Millions!
Yet, we still hear the searching empty cries of "it was a small crowd", or "the humanitarian effort is a failure". Who really cares what the size of the crowd was anyway? It should be obvious to anyone watching events unfold in Iraq, that those hundreds of people represented millions of other Iraqi citizens!
The people of Iraq by a vast majority have welcomed the troops as liberators. Just think about it. A foreign entity has taken over their nation, they don't speak the same language, live by the same culture, or have the same background. Yet, the universal language of liberty, speaks so loudly they've welcomed an invading force of foreigners.
These are truly historic times! Times of great hope, great beginnings, and great vision. George W. Bush has demonstrated that universal values still exist, and still shape the world on a scale which is truly profound. The world has now changed, and even the muslim press is beginning to come to terms with it. |
