Where is the outrage?
A story, much like all the others, came across the wires today. Terrorists in Iraq lured Iraqi police into an ambush, and then detonated a bomb. At least 29 Iraqi police were killed in the attack.
I understand when the rest of the world doesn’t care about Americans killed by terrorists in Iraq. After all, they think we deserve it for invading such a wonderful peaceful nation like Iraq. For the French, the only good American is a dead American, at least as long as we keep buying their wine and sending them tourist dollars, as that is a large portion of their economy. Most of the press in the Muslim world actively supports the terrorists who kill Americans. I may think their sentiments are wrong, but I’m not surprised when we don’t get sympathy.
What I’m wondering is why there is no outrage over the terrorists killing Iraqis? We see, more and more often, that the terrorists are attacking Iraqis rather than US troops. They do this for several reasons, chiefly that Iraqis are becoming more of the ‘face’ of the reconstruction, and that US troops are a much harder target. So the terrorists go after Iraqi police, the new recruits for the Iraqi army, and anyone that appears to be advancing the democratic plan in Iraq.
It’s obvious that the terrorists are showing their hand. But nobody is paying any attention! The terrorists are not only against the US invasion, or they would concentrate on finding ways to attack US troops directly. It’s not that simple. They are against democracy in Iraq. They are killing other Muslims to stop the advance of freedom in their homeland. How long do we need to keep watching before it is reported that the goal of the “insurgency” is not the defeat of the Americans, it is the defeat of liberty.
The terrorists know that a free people is a happy people, and a happy people have no use for terror. These terrorists are trying to create nothing more than chaos, because only in chaos can they achieve their objective: rule by the tyrannical force of the terrorists themselves.
