Useful Fools

As so eloquently put in the National Review Online, we are in a war because our people have been attacked!

Yet today the media elite, their Democratic allies, and the silly Europeans have already forgotten. We don’t hear a word about the need to cleanse the world of terrorists and the dictators who support and arm them!

We don’t hear of our sacred duty to the dead of 9-11 - our duty to root out and destroy every vestige of Islamist terror, and the concomitant need to end the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. At best, we hear cynical complaints that our internal defenses are not enough - as if we could ever secure this great and free country against individual terrorists! The left refuses to recognize that offense is the only defense in this matter!

Instead, we here proceduralist and legalist mumblings about only one forthcoming battle in our war: Iraq.

Defanging Iraq is obviously an important act - Iraq has already demonstrated its willingness to cause mass casualties in the US. The hand-wringers forget that Iraq was implicated in the first World Trade Center attack. They also fail to inform the public that chemical weapons were used in that attack!

That’s right. Iraq attacked US civilians in 1993 with a chemical weapon! The WTC bomb contained a large amount of cyanide. Only the intense heat of the blast, which destroyed the cyanide prevented tens of thousands of death in the first attack. Iraq was involved in that attack, as it was in the attempt to assassinate Bush I - a clear act of war.

Importantly, defanging Iraq is only the first act of our war. Replacing Saddam will not solve our terrorism problems. In fact, at first it may increase them. But we must do it - Saddam is a clear and present danger, and his removal will not only end the danger from Iraq, but will also send a clear message to the other facilitators of terror in the world.

To the left, however, the purpose of our war, and the facts of the wider war itself have been submerged. More important in their minds are legalisms and protocols, and of course they just can’t help but respond to their habitual view that we are the oppressors and it’s about money and imperialism.

It’s all about oil, they say!

Tell that to the dead of 9-11!
