Instead of just reacting in dismay at the blindness of those who still want to cry about quagmires and failure, it makes more sense to read the words of the Iraqis, speaking of the latest terrorists:

"Some people still wonder what would be the relation between liberation of Iraq and war on terrorism. I think that the fact that nearly all the terrorists are gathered on our land to fight so fiercely should be more than enough an explanation. It may seem that the dictators and fanatics from outside are winning by inflicting such horrible losses in our lines and that the battlefield is Iraq, where in fact (my opinion) we are doing them a much more damage by building Iraq and that the battlefield is much more larger than Iraq. We are fighting them on their lands by showing their citizens what they can achieve once they are free. It’s still far from being an appealing vision, but soon it will be. These dictators, instead of trying to change so that they can find a place in the new world or at least take a safe shelter (Aristed) and not end being dragged from a sewage hole, are actually stupid enough to try to resist it. They are (spitting in the face of the wind).

(The whole essay is quite good.)

Or, you can go to http://hammorabi.blogspot.com/ , and read the rage of the Iraqis at the terrorists trying to wreck and steal their country, but only if you have a strong stomach, as he photo-documents his sense of outrage.

This is Ty's "failure".

We don't have a disagreement about whether the cause is just, we have a disagreement about whether we will succeed. But these blogs are good.
