The Evil We Fight

The fight in Iraq is more difficult but is nonetheless moving toward our victory as the facts and trends have always shown. The Sunni Arab minority never had much of a shot of defeating the majority Shias and Kurds. What little shot they had in 2004 was forfeited when the Baathists sided with al Qaeda.

The enemies have managed to kill a lot because of their money, expertise, and weapons readily available in Iraq. With these, they killed innocents on a massive scale. While some here have used this viciousness as an excuse to advocate retreat from Iraq, I don't understand that thinking at all. These bastards we are fighting and defeating struck in Baghdad:

Remote-controlled explosives strapped to two mentally retarded women detonated in a coordinated attack on pet bazaars Friday, police and Iraqi officials said, killing at least 73 people in the deadliest day since the U.S. sent 30,000 extra troops to the capital this spring.

Our enemies used retarded women and detonated the bombs strapped to the women who probably had no idea that they were weapons. Isn't the fact that our enemies are exceptionally evil, brutal, and bloodthirsty an added reason to kill them and defeat them rather than retreat? Is it really more important that they too seek to defeat President Bush? Remember, these killers hate all of us and would love to kill even Michael Moore.

Sometimes I think pro- and anti-war people aren't even speaking the same language.
