The Democrats' New Idea

Ask George McGovern what to do. Predictably he calls Iraq a hell hole and urged the immediate withdrawal of troops. And even weirder, he suggested a "Muslim Brotherhood" force with troops from various Muslim nations to impose peace in Iraq. I don't think he knows anything about the roots of terrorism or the differences between Sunnis and Shias or the record of Arab Armies against Western ones in recent years. The only thing they know how to do well is stage terrorist attacks IEDs and suicide bombers. I suspect that he'd get something more like this.

McGovern was a bomber pilot in WWII, but he still doesn't seem to understand that the military today are volunteers, not draftees. He and the Democrats are so blinded by their ideology and desire for power and spending more on their socialist dreams that they fail to see how they're being played by the terrorists. This isn't appeasement, because they don't even seem willing to seek anything in trade for our national honor. Osama's initial assessment of us seems to be spot on at this point.

The more blame should fall on the Republicans for blowing this election through confusion, cowardice and seeking to retain power throught pork. Bush has done what he has had to do. Just as Reagan felt impelled to

The interview of Staff Sgt. Dave Bellavia and Staff Sgt. Peter Milinkovic on Fox's Special Report by Jim Angle made me want to weep for our men and women who don't want to abandon their mission, and for the Iraqis who have trusted us twice, only to have us desert them after they've tried to trust us.

I believe that turmoil is inevitable, and that we cannot avoid it by withdrawing and moving closer to the Europeans who can't even maintain their own populations without immigrants. Turkey doesn't need to get into the E.U. In a few years, it will accomplish what it was unable to do at the gates of Vienna, and it will do so at the invitation of the current inhabitants.
