In Support of Our Troops at Haditha

"Here is the thing about Haditha that liberals and critics will never understand: even if the families slaughtered were not harboring the terrorists who attacked our troops, they probably would have. Our troops need to find these insurgents who hide out in the houses of those who support the cause--this includes, many, many houses. It's best to shrug this incident off as an aberration and move on, because when people realize that the "few bad apples" are really just normal apples from a diseased tree, there will be problems. Haditha is the war in Iraq. The white phosphorus used in Fallujah is the war in Iraq. Torture is the war in Iraq. And that's okay. Liberty has a price. And unless you want to see outrageous accusations against the liberators in the Bush administration, unless you want to see the term "war criminal" thrown around by dangerous radicals, and unless you want the nation to see the shameful truth that lies in shards at the bottom of that slippery slope, then it is best to just support our troops, and let this be the last time we mention Haditha."
