We can't overthrow every murderous tyrant in the world, but when we can, we should. Take it from someone who was there, and who stood to lose everything. We must, and will, stay the course. We owe it to the Iraqis, and to the world.
Uncle, that Major, soon to be Lt. Colonel, went to Harvard and got a master's degree in government, and the basis of his view that we did the right thing is that we "should...overthrow every murderous tyrant in the world...when we can?"
It seems that he's doing a rerun of the "Saddam was a very bad monster" justification. He's also confirming that he, and others he's speaking for, put their lives on the line and aren't complaining. Other than that, I don't see anything new or especially insightful in his editorial opinion. Am I missing something? |
