How the military deaths in Iraq are being used as a political tool by the Left
The main agreement that liberals are using to try and sway Americans into opposing the war and discredit President Bush's efforts in Iraq are the number of military deaths in Iraq. As of the date of this writing, it has been two and half years since the start of the war and there has been a total of 900 US military deaths. America has liberated 25 million people from oppression and tyranny and made the world a much safer place. For those that don't believe that the world is safer - you must ask this question. If all dictators were eliminated from the face of the earth, would the world be a safer place? The answer is yes and the world is now one step closer. I would also like to propose that the idea by liberals that the deaths of 900 Americans is not worth the liberation of 25 million Iraqi's is on the surface racist. These are the same liberals who say that America needs to build an alliance with the rest of the world. I could never possibly understand the pain that families must feel that have lost loved ones in Iraq. However, I do understand that great accomplishments are never achieved without great sacrifice. Please note that during the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge more than 25 men were killed. As a consequence of space exploration, 18 astronauts have been killed in flight and another 10 have been killed in training missions. More than 120 men were killed during the construction of the Hoover Dam. During the Revolutionary War, more than 4,000 Americans died to gain independence from Britain. More than 500,000 American lost their lives during the Civil War to save the Union and free 4 million slaves. Does this mean that because people die that we should never explore space, build bridges, build buildings or fight for freedom?

It is a fact of life that people die in the endeavor to achieve and it is also a fact that people die for less noble causes than those listed above. Please note that each year thousands of people are murdered by their spouses, thousands die as the result of workplace accidents and tens of thousands more die due to skin cancer. This past year more than 40,000 Americans died in automobile accidents. However- this number is small compared to the amount of people that die each year due to heart disease. Does this mean that we should ban marriage, never leave our homes, close beaches, ban driving, and ban all food that is considered not healthy?

How many of you reading this would be willing to give your life for a bridge, dam, building or even space exploration. How many of you would be willing to give up your life for your job or running to McDonalds for a hamburger? I would not give up my life for any of these causes. However- there are a few causes in life that are worth dying for. I would give up my life to save my family, for the cause of freedom and for my country! The war in Iraq is a cause for freedom. Liberals would have you believe that the war in Iraq was for oil. Well- we have seen the prices of oil and this is not so. As previously noted, the less dictators in the world - the safer the world becomes and the safer America becomes. If liberals are against dying for the cause of freedom, then they should be for banning marriage, driving, certain foods, large construction projects and space exploration because freedom is a greater cause than any of these. Liberals have it backwards as always and they are using the deaths in Iraq as a political tool. America is the greatest county in the world because we endeavor to achieve great things and sometimes it comes at a great cost. You must ask yourself what would America be like if Americans never endeavored to achieve? Even more so- what would the world look like?
