Allan Winkler is a fraud. Or an opportunist. Or at least a retread tire. Usually when he comes on I turn off the radio. Unfortunately, I wasn't quick enough on the draw this time. He suggested that America was deep in the big muddy on the way to drown. Yes we are in the big muddy But we don't have to drown. This morning I received photos from my brother in law in an email entitled "Photos too shocking and graphic for the mass media." These were photos showing young American soldiers holding and surrounded by young Iraqi children who were holding new school supplies. There were photos showing Iraqis with hand painted signs saying "Thank you." There were photos showing American soldiers, both black and white, praying together. If we leave Iraq now there would be additional photos, but these photos would be far different. There would be photos of burning American flags. There would be photos of young boys marching with AK-47's. There won't be photos of young girls. Just photographs of hate. Yes, America is in the big muddy, but Iraq is in it far, far deeper. If we, as a free nation do not help to rescue others from this danger, then we will not keep this gift of freedom for much longer. So I say wade into the big muddy in the hope of rescuing others. Freedom requires nothing less. Will you stretch out your hand to help or will you cower on the bank and wear another name?
