"What are we doing here? That is a question I hear quite often from those who oppose our actions in the Middle East. What are we doing here? We are giving people the opportunity to fight for their freedom. Freedom is not a concept that is given, it is earned. It is the costliest of human aspirations and the one thing most easily squandered. I take the dhimmitude that infects the West today as my “Exhibit A”. Those who have no concept of the cost of freedom are willing to give it away all in the name of a false “peace”. But what is Peace without Freedom?
Peace without Freedom is Slavery. I will never be a slave. If I lose my life in this land, I will have died a Free Man. If
those who outlive me surrender in the name of “Peace” because they are
too terrified and selfish to sacrifice for the cost of Freedom, they
too will die. However, they will die as slaves, or dhimmi, which is the same thing."
These are the words of a soldier deployed in Iraq. To the "peace crowd, to the Democrats in Congress, to my own foolish Congressman... go to the Tanker Brothers to read the rest.
