Our safety at home and the cause of freedom abroad is largely contingent upon our success in Iraq.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If we hold true to our ideals and our commitment to freedom, this generation of servicemen and women will have extended liberty to the Iraqi people, just as previous generations of Americans have all across the globe.
While it may take generations of nurturing, nations founded on and grounded in freedom will eventually overcome and prosper. Once free, folks rarely accept anything less, and that includes Iraqis.
We must remain steadfast in our commitment to our troops, and to those fighting for a free and democratic Iraq because freedom makes our country and the world a safer place.
Our safety requires a long-term military presence in the Middle East because that's where the plans to attack us are emanating.
One of the things my service in Iraq did give me was this freedom from fear of failure or any kind of expectations that I had to take a standard path.
America needs to be secure at home and abroad.
We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
That is why we wholeheartedly support the American-led effort to free the people of Iraq. And though we are a small country with a small military, we are proud to stand side by side with our allies in the fight to end the reign of terror in Baghdad.
Iraq can emerge as a beacon of hope and democracy in the Middle East, and the world, with our help.
We proved we could be safe and secure at home, and still have more allies and friends in the world.
