Jim Stingl's column hawks for "peace."
He reiterates the usual anti-war lib talking points. They're basically the same ones that they used during the Vietnam war.
Bloodshed and sectarian killing will continue indefinitely, and Americans will increasingly question if it's worth it, and even what it's for. Wasn't that the message of the November election? The president seems to think we were asking for more war in this country we invaded without provocation.
...More than 3,000 American soldiers are dead so far, and from what I know Iraqis want to fight among themselves and kill us more than they want democracy and stability. All 21,000 more soldiers means is 21,000 more targets.
Stingl echoes the views of disabled Vietnam veteran Mark Foreman and urges people to gather to protest the war.
Foreman favors immediate withdrawal of our troops and an end to the insane level of spending on the war - our tax money that could be used for so many needs at home. Veterans for Peace, a group to which he belongs, will demonstrate for these goals at Milwaukee's City Hall at 5 p.m. on Jan. 26.
Want to help support our veterans and our soldiers? Show up downtown and help them send a message to our leaders in Washington.
"Peace begins," Foreman said, "with recognizing we have to clean up the mess, not to keep making more of a mess."
Stingl and Foreman are incredibly short-sighted.
They believe that withdrawing from Iraq will bring peace.
It won't.
It will be an illusory peace, like the supposed era of peacetime during the Clinton administration.
The libs need to understand that the withdrawal of our troops from Iraq won't signal the end of the war.
They don't.
