Let me be clear. I am pro-victory when it comes to defending America’s interests abroad. America is the beacon of freedom in the world, and we need to use our power to do right. To whom much is given, much is expected.
Here is the article from the Weekly Standard. (H/T ECM)

Thank You America – And Damn You, You Bastards
By Jabr Al Jabouri
Al-Bayyna Al-Jadida [Baghdad]
July 1, 2009America chose to save us from the most evil party, and the most despicable President in the universe [Saddam]. Meanwhile, the Arab powers stood firmly against the American project. They used all means to thwart them, but Allah’s will had another say in this matter. America turned the Ba’athists into the world’s laughing stock by showing them fleeing in their underwear on live television. Meanwhile, the Arab powers turned those cowards into national heroes on their satellite channels.
America gave the lives of 4,000 of its people to Iraq’s land to instill security and democracy, while the Arabs sent us their filthy mercenaries who mercilessly murdered, bombed, and slaughtered the Iraqi people.
America came bearing democracy for Iraq, while the Arabs brought us the new religion of the Wahhabis and Salafists. This religion aims to destroy Iraq and return it to the days of minority rule.
And it goes on and on and on about all the things that America has done for Iraq.
This is a must-read, especially for the many Christians that I know personally who thought that 600 billion dollars was too much money to spend giving the gift of liberty to our neighbors in Iraq, while making the whole world safer at the same time. And I think we should be supporting democracy in Lebanon, Iran and Honduras as much as we can – certainly with diplomatic and economic measures.
Thank you, ECM, for sending me this fine article. America is a great country, and we do great things, and we have glory (reputation) for doing these great things with the people who matter most – the people who love liberty, prosperity and security. The people who are grateful. The people who believe in democracy and human rights.
Do your Christian friends grasp, even at an elementary level, the concept of a Just War? If not, you need to do an in-depth post on this very important subject, if only for the theists out there. (Nothing will sway the liberal materialists since, as far as most of them are concerned, the West can’t do anything right, even when it’s busy liberating millions upon millions of people from the yolk of murderous tyrants.)

The leftists don’t teach this in the classroom, and the parents are too busy trying to make money to care what their children believe.
