Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


Not so for the DNC?s presidential wannabe.  With tight-pursed lips, mock civility and a clenched jaw, Kerry relieved himself like a drunken alley cat on everything Allawi said.  At Carville?s command, Kerry would have us believe the Iraqi patriot is a Bush administration puppet, going so far as to imply that Allawi was lying, deceiving the world about the true state of Iraq.  For Kerry to accuse Allawi of lying is similar to Michael Jackson calling William Buckley freaky.

My ClashPoint is this: call me na? but I believe Allawi?s report that Iraq is better off, and I believe the world is better off with the offing of Saddam and company. Even though this war has taken somewhat longer than most microwave Americans and Europeans would like, Allawi reports the overwhelming majority of Iraqis are very grateful for the Coalition?s military intervention and liberation. 

This is not taking too long, morons?.  It?s a war, Spanky, and wars are not a fluff and fold situation.  Establishing democracy despite extremist Muslim lunacy is not accomplished in a week and, yes, we?ll have to pay retail to see it established.

But some things are worth paying full price for ? establishing a free and just society in a nation surrounded by fellows of a bizarre and baser sort is not something we can buy at Costco.  If we can set a beacon for democracy beaming in Baghdad, it will have a huge and positive impact on every country in the region, and materially diminish the attraction of terrorism to currently hopeless millions.

Sometimes we have to show love by laying our lives down for our friends.  In doing so, we can be sure that we will be rewarded many, many times over.
