I know there's those out there who don't see the war as something that needed to be fought in the first place. I, oddly enough, agree with them. Our enemies didn't need to bring us the fight, didn't need to bring death and destruction upon themselves. They chose to act - they chose to hate, they chose to force upon a country that didn't want it a fight that, for the good of all countries, needs to be won against an ideology that promises nothing but death and destruction. The war didn't need to start - but it needs to end. And that end has to be through winning - not surrender as Reid and Pelosi would like.

And we are winning it. Slowly. But day by day we're making progress. Al Quaeda in Iraq is being pushed back, sliced apart, and slaughtered. The people of Iraq have seen their 'Islamic Brothers' come to help 'drive out the infidel' for what they are - murderous henchmen of Iran, intolerant Islamist fundamentalists who believe in killing to expiate supposed sins, or simply in love with the idea of destruction for it's own sake. And they will accept no more of it, and are taking the fight to the enemy... even refusing US help in their anger.

What does winning look like in Iraq? You tell me. But on this Veterans' Day in 2007, I believe we're seeing it. And it's our military - it's the military forces of the free world, who have broght us along the road to victory.

Thank you.
