...favor of an immediate American attack, all who cherish the principles of democracy and freedom recognize that the world would be a better place with Saddam removed from power. HIPJ avoids this issue, instead claiming that “23 million Iraqis are better equipped to determine their country??s destiny than U.S. bombs.” Would those be the same 23 million who have lived under Saddam’s tyranny for over three decades and have no means to topple the despised despot?

Since the country??s independence in 1948, the Israeli armed forces have drafted both men and women without any hindrance to their ability to fight and win wars—wars that, in fact, could not possibly have been won without women.
