THE ANTI-IRAQ WAR CROWD HAS SOME EXPLAINING TO DO

CLIFF MAY/NRO:

Latest Bombing in Baghdad ... targeted “day laborers looking for work.” At least 57 murdered.

Would someone in Europe or on the Left (do I repeat myself?) please explain how slaughtering innocent working men can be seen as “resistance to foreign occupation”?

Would someone explain why these mass murders elicit no outrage against those responsible: those ordering the killings and supplying the weapons?

Does someone want to explain why stopping such Muslim-on-Muslim killings is not as imperative as, say, stopping the Muslim-on-Muslim killings in Dafur?

Does someone want to explain how the withdrawal of American forces would do anything other than empower those dispatching the suicide-bombers and make it more likely that they will fulfill their ambitions?

Reliapundit: Obviously the anti-war crowd has NO GOOD ANSWER for any of these questions. The fact is that US presence in Iraq is right and good and noble - and according to UNSC Mandate, too. Abandoning Iraq's nascent democracy would be WRONG. And it woiuld make the West less safe.

This might not stop the Leftie dove dominated Democrat Party in Congres from attempting to abandon them, though - as they did the South Vietnamese and the Contras.
