The Third Anniversary of the War On Thugs is upon us as Marines Saddle Up and out head out to the sand box. As you leave, the cry babies of democracy and the MSM thug enabler media hurriedly press upon you the idea that your contribution is wasted. They whine your life and our tax dollars are better used at home. What rot! Nothing could be further from the truth. You leave careers on standby and will maintain relationships by overstuffed packages, email, snailmail, rushed static filled phone calls and at this moment begin your seemingly endless litany of all things tedious that-must-be-done before you are allowed to disengage your life here to begin your extremely valuable contribution to the birth of a new society. Marines are now tasked w/midwife duties to the birth of a new society in Iraq obiedient to the rule of law-not the cult of dictator personalty. A down payment on the road to a thousand years of peace. But read what Mohammed at Iraq the Model has to say on your contribution. He lives there, in the sand box, in Iraq, in the struggling new democracy that is to be brought forth by the sweat of your brow, your sacrifice, your civilian career on standby, and your absence from your family:
IRAQ THE MODEL: .....…the truth is that virtually no one wants Saddam back.... ignore the weepers, whiners, teenagers and half educated naïve people and their silly rallies as I don't want to waste time on people who can do nothing but blindly oppose everything without thinking.
I will ignore them and focus on the more important goals we want to reach here…
.....The democracy we're practicing today in Iraq is the exact opposite of what we had for decades and until three years ago. This democracy carries the essence of life, the differences, the dynamics and yes, the failures but also the seed of a better future.
Before the liberation we were suffering and we had no hope, now we are also suffering but we have hope and I see this hope even in the words of those that are cynical about the outcome of the political process; who say they hope things will be better in four years or eight years…
When Saddam was here we didn't have any hope and we could expect nothing good from a dead regime that cared only about its absolute existence.
Yes. We are facing enormous and dangerous challenges and this is not unexpected because the old will not easily step down and accept the loss; the old will fight back fiercely and the old here is not only Saddam and the Ba'ath, the old can be found among many of our current leaders and the mentality they carry that belong to the same generation that bred Saddam but I believe they will melt away as well because no one can go against the direction of time and the clock cannot be forced backwards.
The green bud looks weak and is buried in the dirt and surrounded by a tough shell but it will break through this covering, pierce the dirt and stand on its feet to announce a new era.
We will not be defeated and orphans of the dark past will get what they deserve and our sacrifices and the sacrifices of those who stand with us shall not go in vain, our sacrifices will pave an easier road for those want to follow us when they decide it's time for them to change.
And yes…Iraq will be the model."
