End The War: Start Demonstrating Against the Bad Guys

It's an amazing thing watching the anti-war types and leftists continually calling for an end to the war in Iraq. Nowhere in their ongoing calls do they call on the terrorists to stop their suicide car bombings and mass murder of Iraqis and instead heap nothing but blame on the Bush Administration as if suicide bombers is something that the Bush Administration invented.

It did not. Iraq is a battlefield precisely because there are jihadis and insurgents who are causing mayhem and carnage. Why not focus the efforts on undermining the jihadis and insurgents instead of the US and Iraqi efforts to quell the violence.

After all, but for the jihadi, al Qaeda and insurgent violence, the US could begin reducing troop numbers.

But don't take my word for it, consider someone who lives in Iraq:

Even more appalling I see and hear some people who think the solution is to end the war from our end and I can't find an argument more naïve than this—I've seen enough wars in my life that I can't remember a day when there was peace and I hate wars more than they can imagine. But we didn't start his war; it's the terrorists who started this war against life.

Instead of telling us to stop fighting back, I'd like to see some people stand up and protest the crimes of the terrorists and tell them to stop the killing and destruction…turn the stop-the-war campaign against the terrorists, is that too much to ask for?

Tell the criminals to stop killing us and stop attacking the people who are risking their lives fighting for liberty and equality.

We're not asking the media and the stop-the-war crowd to carry arms and shoot the terrorists; we just want them to stop shooting at us.

It's a real simple thing really - if leftists truly abhor violence and war, demand the jihadis and insurgents stop the carnage. It is not the US that is busy killing scores of people in car bombings and suicide bombings but the jihadis and insurgents.

The problem is that the anti-war types are not interested in peace, but ensuring that the US loses. The anti-war types and leftists think that the US is the bad guys, not the jihadis and insurgents who have no problems making videos showing beheading of their victims, car bombing marketplaces, attacking police stations, blowing up mosques to incite sectarian conflict, and otherwise trying to destroy infrastructure and a nascent government's capability to govern and manage a country still trying to find its footing in a very dangerous part of the world.
