Hey, you forgot to give a smug alert before you posted.

It’s not about some stupid ‘emboldening’ percentage. Either the firemen put out the fires the arsonists started or the whole place burns down. The police catch the child rapist or your kids may be next. We stop the people who want to destroy the economies of the West, kill all the Jews and Christians in the world (and then all the Muslims that disagree with them), or they win.
The basic Iraqi isn’t the ‘sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll’ dude that you’re used to supporting. Maybe they’ll never have a democracy that you would visit. However, they still deserve your support in this struggle against anarchists. They already have mine.
