I don't know if you ever listen to Rusty Humphries on the radio, or not, but on his last Saturday Night America broadcast on July 23, he was making fun of terrorists. I enjoyed it very much. After all, you have to wonder about people who can be convinced to strap a bomb on themselves and then go blow themselves up. Obviously, it is a tragedy when they kill innocent people. That, I hope, goes without saying. But, it shows that when you are dealing with those kinds of people, the only way to stop them is to kill them. That is why we have a Global War on Terror that we are engaged in.
Now, the left will try to tell you that the War in Iraq has nothing to do with Terrorism. "Everybody knows that Sadam Hussein has nothing to do with Osama bin Laden. There is no link." I beg to differ. That is a lie that has been repeated by the left because they don't like to admit that George Bush is succeeding. However, prior to 2001, is was common knowledge that there was a link. ABC news even did a story about it. The folks over at Powerlineblog have the video. Additionally, Deroy Murdoch over at National Review Online has written extensively making the connection.
The left will also tell you that the War in Iraq has made us less safe. The problem with that is, in order to believe that, you must believe that if we were to be attacked again, it would be in response to the War in Iraq. There are a few problems there. First, According to the left, the War in Iraq and the War on Terrorism are not connected. Second, how many times were we attacked before the War in Iraq, and how many times since? Well, The two Trade Center bombings (1992 and 2001), the Cole, and the two embassy bombings in Africa, just to name a few before we went into Iraq. Since then, aside from those terrorists in Iraq, .........NONE.
The bottom line is this: The War on Terrorism will be fought in one of two places. Either over her, or over there. Better for us that it is over there. And, thankully, we have a military filled with the best people in the world who are willing to take the fight over there and keep us safe here.
Face it, America is the GREATEST country on the planet. Bar none. Perfect? No. But no where on the planet is there greater freedom to do what one wishes to. This is a place to talk about keeping this the best country on the planet, and to talk about righting the things that start to go wrong.

Good post! I agree with you completely here, and I wish more people would open their eyes to the true nature of the GWOT.
