Tomorrow Is Victory in Iraq Day!
I declare November 22, 2008 to be “Victory in Iraq Day.” (Hereafter known as “VI Day.”)
By every measure, The United States and coalition forces have conclusively defeated all enemies in Iraq, pacified the country, deposed the previous regime, successfully helped to establish a new functioning democratic government, and suppressed any lingering insurgencies. The war has come to an end. And we won.
Yes, there is still a lot to be done in Iraq - corruption is a big problem, - but the country is now free, secure, stable, and a key U.S. ally in the Middle East. And it is firmly on a path to becoming a democratic nation - proving wrong the Bush Administration’s detractors from the Left, whose multiculturalism somehow didn’t prevent them from arguing that efforts to “export democracy” to a country full of Muslim Arabs were ridiculous.
The world is a safer place now, and it owes this safety to the bravery and sacrifices of American troops and their coalition allies.
The war is over. Join the victory celebration!
