To get out of a difficulty, one usually must go through it. Our country is now facing the most serious threat to its existence, as we know it, that we have faced in your lifetime and mine (which includes WWII).
The deadly seriousness is greatly compounded by the fact that there are very few of us who think we can possibly lose this war and even fewer who realize what losing really means.

The Muslims fully know what is riding on this war, and therefore are completely committed to winning, at any cost. We better know it too and be likewise committed to winning at any cost.
What will it take to win the War in Iraq? More importantly, what will be the cost if we don't win?

AMEN to that. I fully agree. There is no way to win without sacrifice. Our soldiers know it and have lived by that creed since our very beginnings. Look at how many men suffered and died from the freezing cold in summer clothes during the Revolutionary War and all our other wars. Our soldiers have always sacrificed for our freedoms and safety.
We owe them our existence. We owe them our trust, faith and loyalty.
However, there are those in our country that feel when our soldiers get a broken fingernail, that they should be brought home. They have even stated that our soldiers should not be in harms way.
How stupidly insensitive and unAmerican is that?
