In Defence of Iraqi War and in defence of Bush

I am in agreement with Pipe's general approach but I believe that a change in perspective is neccessary to achieve the desired for end to the devastating effect of terrorism on accepted civilized existence.

Regretfully, we must admit that one of the world's finest men, President Carter, gave the world the Universal Terrorism that we, now, have vowed to eradicate. He believed, as a cultured civilized person, in ‘reasoning' with people. They perceived it, politically and culturally, as a sign of apparent weakness and vulnerability.

In failing to give an ultimatum to the Iranians, (release our hostages within 48 hours or we will destroy your military installations) who were in breach of Universal Diplomatic Standards by invading sovereign US territory, he inflicted on the world the plague of those who embrace a Culture of Death to promote the Agenda of degenerate autocrats.

Clearly, we must accept that Terrorism is orchestrated by the heinous despots, supported by religious fundamentalists, who are willing to sacrifice even the last of their exploited, deprived and spiritless people in defense of their narrow vested interests.
The terrorists who, for years, have being waging war against the USA, the Epitome of Democracy, are being abetted and financed by all those Despots, of the Middle East, who are in dire fear of the relentless march of encroaching democracy.

The one advantage of dealing with Despots is that they are capable, by decree, to change forces of hatred into forces of love.
Until the Despots decree the end of their avowed destruction of Israel (the spearhead of Democracy in the Middle East) and their war on Democracy their well-financed terrorists will continue their Jihad to the detriment of the Palestinians the Israelis and the Iraqis.

President Bush instinctively knew that terrorism required financing, sheltered training camps and sanctioned Jihads. These, he knew, were carefully nurtured and promoted by the wealthy Despots intent on warding off the march of democracy. Clamping down on world terrorist-funding and making an example of the Iraqi Despot were essential first steps in the declared campaign against evil.

The Democratic Allied-Forces were willing to make untold sacrifices to liberate the Iraqi people. As a result of their blessed initiative the downtrodden Iraqi people, who were incapable of sparking their own revolt, are now offered the opportunity to forge their own constructive future.

The Iraqi example will, undoubtedly, compel the despotic leaders of Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia to move, for their own survival, towards eradication of the terrorists and the training camps dotting their landscapes. If they don't heed the warnings, democracy will continue its progressive march ensuring their eradication and the emancipation of their peoples.
