It has always annoyed me that we were considered to be the violators of peace by attacking Saddam's regime; yet when the Baathists, jihadis, and Sadrists attacked the legitimate Iraqi government and our forces helping that government, we were still the violators of that peace.
Yet the anti-war side has kept their moral edge since who can oppose "peace"?
The problem is, the anti-war side's chant of "peace" just means "defeat for America."
Once upon a time, Americans instinctively wanted "peace" but knew that peace could only be a good peace when it followed victory. These Americans in Paris celebrating VJ Day understood the linkage between victory and peace (They are carrying newspapers with the headline "PEACE"):
Can our Left ever understand this simple message? How did "peace" come to mean our defeat in their minds?If I can find a larger picture that doesn't lose clarity I'll replace the small image. I saw this in my April issue of Army magazine and just did a quick search online.
