Keep in mind that everything was not peachy before Iraq. Muslims already hated us and had been attacking us for decades (not to mention 9/11).
Another distortion the patriotic left has used to undermine our troops and their mission is that by actually standing up to our enemies we are only creating more terrorists. History overwhelmingly disproves this. It is the appease and retreat strategy Democrats relentlessly advocate (they use more appealing words like “restraint” to describe their habitual cowering, but it is still the same thing) that has emboldened the brutality of every regime from Stalin to Saddam.
Bill Clinton retreated from Bin Laden in Somalia under the guise of “getting our troops out of harm’s way,” and what followed was more and more terrorism against our troops, all with further impunity, and eventually, 9/11.
Standing up to bullies causes more violence? Perhaps initially, but once they realize they can’t push you around, they will back off or they will continue to get their asses kicked. Democrats have demonstrated quite thoroughly that what doesn’t work is repeatedly appeasing, retreating, and groveling at the feet of bloody Islam (or N. Korea for that matter).
