So many people have a wrong idea about why we should stay, and fight, or why we should go. First off, I think the question of “are the Iraqi’s worth it or not” is not the reason we should stay or go. I think this question springs out of speculation of the will of the Iraqi people to fight for their own country. Whatever news articles might try to convince anyone of either direction, the facts are that some Iraqi’s are willing to fight, and die if necessary for their freedom. The second reason we should not base staying or leaving on is this thought that it’s the will of the American people to go, and being a Democracy we should go. Well, America is not a pure Democracy. It is more of a Democratic Republic. The American media (irregardless of what they think) is not the third political party in our nation. Although they are convinced that we should not be there, and have convinced any Americans that we should not be there, simply leaving before Iraq is stabilized will absolutely be seen as an American defeat, and we will be seen as a paper tiger, and if there is one thing that we know will make these enemies bold enough to attack us again, it is the perception of a broken and weak willed America.
We know that al Qaeda is in America right now. We know that Hesbolla is in America today. The Jehad against America is real, and as anyone knows, the best defense is a good offense. As an America, I would rather die fighting than die by an explosion in a shopping mall. It is amazing that we have not had attacks here. All of the experts predict that we will have them here. It is clear in nature that all predators attack when they see their pray venerable and weak, and a cut and run tactic is just that. America needs to gut it up, and continue to remain on offense. Iraq and Afghanistan are where our offensive fronts are right now. The enemy wants to fight, so let’s fight them.
