Go read this letter from, my Dad would be so proud, a 101st Airborne Sgt regarding why they are there. It dovetails perfectly though I am sure unconsciously with this piece I linked to earlier in the week. The First Terrorist War Read this line from that terrific piece, then go and read both of these terrific items and gain an understanding on why your backbone needs to stay in the fight.

And it is not with Christianity that Islam is currently at war. Islam is saving that for the mopping up phase of its current campaign. The religion that Islam has engaged is a much younger one, the religion of Freedom.

As a religion Freedom has been gaining converts since the success of the American Revolution enabled it to go forth and be preached to the world. Freedom is easily the most popular of the new religions and historically converts nearly 100% of all populations in which it is allowed to take firm root. This is the religion which we have lately brought to Iraq.

Take a look at a bit from the letter sent back from the 101st, Great Minds think alike! Read both of them all the way through!

Freedom is not free, but yet it is everyone’s right to have. Ironic isn’t it? That is why we are here. Though you will always have the skeptics, I know that most of our military will agree with this message. Please, at the request of this soldier spread this message to all you know. We are in Operation Iraqi Freedom and that is our goal.
