It's a Wonderful War!
Let’s just suppose for a moment that John Kerry is right. I don’t mean before the decision to launch war against Iraq when Senator Kerry approved it, I mean now, when he says launching the war was a mistake. Let’s suppose the Senator got his way on his opinion after the war started, before the war started. Sorry. Sarcasm is my second language. Let’s just suppose that the anti-war crowd got its way from the start and the United States never launched Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Sadaam Hussein would still rule Iraq. Iran would still be seeking nuclear weapons. Hamas would still control Palestine. Hezbollah would still control southern Lebanon. Syria would still be in Lebanon, because U.S. troops would not be at the Syrian/Iraqi border.
The G-8 would still be meeting in July 2006 to discuss sanctions against Iran. Hezbollah would still kidnap 2 Israeli soldiers. Israel would still attack Hezbollah. However, the result would not have been the same.
The conduit of soldiers, missiles and money from Iran to Lebanon would have an uninterrupted flow. Syria would be more able to assist militarily and Sadaam would have made every resource possible available for Hezbollah. Israel would have had a much more difficult time.
World opinion would have been different. The terrorists who fled Afghanistan would not have had Iraq to pre-occupy them, they would have been busy in other parts of the world. There is no doubt that we have killed al-Qaeda in Iraq. There is also no doubt that al-Qaeda has continued launching and attempting to launch attacks worldwide since the Iraq war began. It is only logical that there would have been more attacks worldwide were it not for the Iraq war.
The world would be tired of this and ready to do what it takes to end it. The international community that condemned Israel for fighting a terrorist organization would be welcoming Israel for fighting a terrorist organization. They still wouldn’t have the balls to contribute troops, but they would hold their tongues at the United Nations.
When Israel had its back to the wall against the flood of Iranian Republican Guard, patiently waiting for an opening in the under-prepared IDF line, and chose to use nuclear weapons rather subject its civilians to Iranian cruelty, the world would barely bat an eye. When Iran responded with its one and only bomb, purchased from North Korea, and destroyed Tel Aviv, the world would only shut its eyes and cry.
When Israel launched 75% of the missiles in its arsenal and obliterated Iran, the world wouldn’t say a word. Iran was destroyed. Israel was saved. However, the war would continue on for the rest of the century.
We don’t know everything about how this is going to end. However, looking back, the war on Iraq may have already prevented nuclear annihilation.
Maybe we should just give war a chance.
