The USA doing what needs to be done since 1776...
What is an Iraqi life worth?
Nov 9, 2004 | unknown
Not much, according to our wonderful allies over there in the European Union and in most of the rest of the world.
Pondering a little bit about the Iraqi war and the reasons why the United States and it's close friends are fighting there, and something came to me. Sure, all the regular reasons why we're there came up, and all the reasons that no one ever speaks of (except in this hemisphere of the bloglobe) because of the fear that the country simply wont understand it.
But one reason hit me in the face like a ton of bricks, it's a reason that most of the world hasn't brought up. Or one that I just havn't read about it on a large scale like I have read about the hatred of America.
Why does the rest of the world look at an Iraqi civilian and say: "Those Iraqi's, ey, they're not worth fighting for."
America went to war with Saddam Husseins government for multiple reasons, and one of them was to liberate the Iraqi people. There were other reasons, and a lot of them more selfish than to give the Iraqi people a fresh start at a new life; a new life based on prosperity, freedom and democracy.
But nonetheless, one of the reasons was to fight for the Iraqi civilians.
The rest of the world (excluding the Coalition of the Willing) sat back and said no. Okay, fine. They didn't help, it's over with, fine.
My question is: What would those same countries have said if the United States of America said that it's soldiers weren't worth their civilians lives in World War I, or World War II?
What makes coming to their aid so necessary and coming to an Iraqi's aid so unnecessary?
If you ask me, it must be fear of retaliation from Islamic terrorists who wish to do harm to anyone who opposes them. And frankly, that disappoints me. It disappoints me that so many people, and governments, can be so afraid of an Islamic terrorist that they are willing to do the wrong thing if it means temporary safety from the hands of a murder. Shameless.
A lot of talk goes around speaking propaganda about how the U.S and it's friends did the wrong thing because of this and that; but they did the right thing because of one reason, and that one reason is more important than anything else.
The United States of America is fighting for a civilian population that the rest of the world would rather watch die, than fight for.
Yet another reason why America is the greatest nation on Earth.
Thank you, men and women of the United States Armed Forces, who are working hard over in Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else in the world where our military stands.
You are truly a cut above the rest.

. It is clearly an advantage not to have Fox. I could get a satellite-tv and have a good laugh though.
