Mike's Right

In these past few years we have heard the President speak about how the terrorists hate our freedoms and our way of life, and wish to destroy it. At the same time we have heard the left say that the terrorists don't really hate our freedoms, that's too much of a simplistic view, they hate our support of Israel and our placeing of troops in Saudi Arabia, and if we didn't do such things they wouldn't be so mad at us. Well the leader of Al'Qaeda in Iraq, Al'Zarqawi, has made it clear in his latest release,http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/01/23/iraq.main/index.html.
On this audio tape he states that "We have declared a bitter war against democracy and all who wish to enact it." He calls democracy "the big American lie." He then states that "Democracy is also based on the right to choose your own religion(and that) is agains the will of God" He goes on to talk about how he fears the rise of the Shitte in the current elections and that they will spread their beliefs across the muslim world. Ladies and Gentlemen, make no mistake, this is the enemy we're fighting. They do hate our freedoms, they do hate our form of government, and they do want to destroy us. His words provide a clear contrast to the words of President Bush. By the enemy's own admition we are fighting over democracy in Iraq, in the greater middle east, and for the existance of democracy as the best form of government. We shall win, but we must stand firm.
