Can U.S. Achieve a democratic Iraq?--YES:UNLIKE IN VIETNAM, SUCCESS THE ONLY OPTION
Atlanta Jpurnal Constitution | Friday, April 16, 2004 | Andrew Apostolou

Forget the United Nations. Most Iraqis resent the United Nations for facilitating the massive fraud of the Oil-for-Food program that enriched Sadaam and his cronies at the expense of their children Nor are U.N. forces--given their shameful record of betraying Bosnians and Rwandans to genocide--likely to put up the sort of fight that U.S. forces do every day in Iraq. For the United States, as for the Iraqis, there is no exit strategy but success.

What bothers me is that today's America believes that we can just roll in and remove (insert dictator or oppressive leadership here) and then hold elections and everything is fine and dandy.

The implementers of this policy are forgetting, as they are domestically, that the key to believing in freedom and making it sustainable is private property rights. A man's home is his castle.

...After the American Enemies of FREEDOM...

...Walter Cronkite, William Clinton, Hillary Rodham and John Kerry...

...fooled America thru TV into leaving FREEDOM behind at the hands of invading oppressors in Vietnam long ago...

...as over 1.5 Million poor S.E. Asian Souls then lost their lives as a result.

...Today's Middle East's only survival in a future peaceful world is for it to be FREE.

...NEVER FORGET just who is still trying to leave FREEDOM behind to oppressors in a new Time of War after our having been attacked on our own shores.

...Especially come next Election Day..!!!

GO BUSH GO

Oops! That is the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The whole editorial was great, but I wasn't sure how to link it. It must have been the Journals' twice-a-year concession to present a conservative writer.

That's pretty funny--and one I hadn't seen before.
