IRAQ — WHAT IS THE ANSWER?

by Harvey Tobkes, June 24th, 2005

Many of us feel we should just pull our troops out of Iraq. But how would terrorists worldwide see this? For them it would be a great victory against the world’s greatest superpower. Surely they will hear the voice of God telling the Islamic Brotherhood that the infidels are inferior. It would encourage insurgents to think they are invincible and that their prayers have been answered. Realize this, Iraq is now a training ground where terrorists come from around the world to hone their skills, and then return to their home countries, prepared to carry out terrorism by death and destruction. Isn’t it better to fight them in Iraq than on our own soil?

What future devestating holocaust have they been planning for us that might exceed the tragedy of September 11th, 2001? Would they go against their nemesis and archenemy Israel? Their thinking then would be that they are unstoppable.

We would like to withdraw our troops, but now we are committed and we must stay the course or suffer the dire consequences of atrocities more horrendous than the taking down of the World Trade Center.

Though our choice is a bitter one, we must now persevere and win this struggle; no matter how long it takes.

Too bad we got involved in the first place, but what’s done is done and we cannot change history, but we can apply preventive measures to ensure our safety.
