Why we went to war in Iraq -An Arab scholar's view



Fouad Ajami - Prof. Johns Hopkins Uninversity



Great article in the Wall ST. Journal sent on to me by my friend Wendy, also a colleague and member of VOTE NO TO CUT AND RUN- a group we formed in 2006 to remind Wisconsin to support the troops, you support their mission.

The author is an Arab scholar, FOUAD AJAMI and he eloquently reminds us of the acommplishments and vast changes in the War against the terrorist who struck us on 9/11/01 and the changes for the good in the world because of it.
One of his many good points: Now that the war is going so well with far fewer deaths, better command and control in country, better, stronger Iraqi army, police and government in general the press is no longer interested.
So like Scot McClellan the press rat, let's look now from the point of view of hindsight and keep the Blame Bush machine running by hammering away on the beginning of the war and the many reasons it was called for!
