War in Iraq may be reaching turning point in Diyala
2007-06-22 05:58:00 Possessing the ability to ignore the things that most people find motivating like their health, comfort, whether they?re alive, etc, fanatics make for difficult opponents. Consider Iraq: Insurgents have the opportunity to live in a democracy awash in oil and the goodwill of the most powerful country on Earth yet prefer to live like hunted animals, running from hideout to hideout, and living on scraps in between hunting excursions in which their prey is often the people they think they?re assisting. Our own Western history has had long bouts of fanaticism, from the similar religious kind in the Crusades and the hundred years? war (I realize that many events had multiple causes and that the leaders of those movements had many, often conflicting rationales, but the driving force, for the average participant, was as I indicate.

Coalition Forces see progress in Diyala River Valley
2007-05-03 07:41:00 Being against the war in Iraq doesn't make one unpatriotic or bad. Remember, however, that many Iraqis depend on our commitment to protect them-for the time being. Do you want to abandon them like we did the South Vietnamese, the Russian POWs after WWII, the Jews on the S.S. St. Louis, and the Cubans during the Bay of Pigs?* *Hey, I love the U.S. and I know these things are complicated, but we've had our share of moments of which we can't be proud.
