What We're Fighting For In Iraq

   If you didn't already see [1]this short video clip of a UPI journalist
   on Hot Air about her trip to Iraq, take a few minutes. Here's a rough
   transcript of parts of it:

     "...and he's talking to me very low, under the chatter, and what he
     said was 'Every morning I wake up, and I feel like I'm pushing a
     little girl out of the way of a bus. And I pick her up, and I bring
     her to the other side of the road, and I've saved that little
     girl,' he said, 'every day I feel like that.' And in fact that is
     what is happening there. I can't tell you--"
     ...
     "...this is what these people outside or the Green Zone are seeing
     and dealing with every day, it's real evil, and it's, that's a hard
     word I think for people thats a hard word for people here to
     hear... so it's a hard word to say, but I'm just not sure how you
     can, how, what other word there can be for people who are shooting
     kids in the face."

   Whatever one thinks of the original justifications, this is now
   clearly a war of civilization against barbarity.
