Just a reminder of why we went to Iraq

When I get into conversations these days with friends it sometimes turns to how the situation in Iraq was a big waste of time and taking a downward spiral into just a big fat mess. It has been a few years and since I have a short term attention span, I realized I had forgotten why Iraq? or why at all? Well I was going through old emails and I found this below by Dennis Miller on why we need to support the war...and it was a funny reminder of why it did makes so much sense at the time.

1) Between President Bush and Saddam Hussein...Hussein is the bad guy. 2) If you have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing, keep this in mind: The UN has Libya heading the Committee on Human Rights and Iraq heading the Global Disarmament Committee. Do your own math here. 3) If you use a Google or Yahoo search and type in "French Military Victories," don't be surprised if your computer panicks at its inability to respond to your inquiry. 4) If your only anti-war slogan is "No war for Oil," hire a pit bull lawyer and sue your school district for having allowed you to slip through the cracks and robbing you of the minimum education that nay non-troglodyte deserves. 5) You can take this one to the bank: Saddam and Bin Laden will NOT seek UN approval before they try to kill US! 6) If you are anti-war and even an outright "America Basher," to bin Laden you are still and "infidel" whom he wants dead. 7) Be careful: if you believe in a "vast right wing conspiracy," but not in the danger that Hussein poses, the only job you may be able to get is as an Ivy League college professor. 8) Even multi-culturalists who try to brow beat us into believing that all cultures are eqaully deserving of respect have trouble explaining the past 500 years of Islam. 9) Whether you are for or against military action, our young men and women overseas are fighting to defend our right to speak out on these issues. They deserve our unreserved support. I hope this helps. -- Dennis Miller 2003

I agree with all the points except #8. I'd put it more at a thousand years.

I entered "French Military Victories" on Google and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button to see what the most popular search response would be. It returned no hits and asked me if I meant to ask for french military defeats.

Just goes to show you, you can do everything 180 degrees wrong, and still survive. That explains the continued existence of the Democratic Party.
