Good morning.
"Many defeatist believe that if we leave Iraq it will be just a civil war where Iraqis will be killing each other..."

Far too many people refuse to accept that the bottom line is that we are in a war for survival against an enemy that believes fully that God is on their side. Iraq is just a battlefield in that war.

Our war fighters seem to get it but the Left doesn't want the rest of us to. Why is that? If we leave Iraq we lose the war and the enemy will come here to destroy us.

In a nutshell, here is my beef with the Iraq war. I believe we are there for the right reason, fighting the right enemy, in the right place. Why in the hell are our soldiers riding around in Humvees "on patrol" waiting to be shot at or blown up? Nobody ever won a war playing "defense." Put the Marines on offense, hunt the scum down and send them on their way to hook up with their 72 virgins. They'll soon lose the appetite to kill each other.

100% true.

You said -- "Far too many people refuse to accept that the bottom line is that we are in a war for survival against an enemy that believes fully that God is on their side. Iraq is just a battlefield in that war."

Yeah, that's right. And too many do not want to treat Islam as the true enemy, and as the political idealogy that it is. Islam is their *government* -- and not their religion. We have to *destroy* their government, and make it into another kind of peaceful government -- just like we did with Japan and Germany, when we *destroyed* their governments and remade them over again.
