And· if President Bush won the poll that coun s on Nov. 2, his re-election by no .means eliminates the need for. clarity about .the Iraqi mission··aJiead _: ·particulafly here at home. I ·· say this pondering two recent ·opinion poJis, one conducted stateside by The W~shington Post, and one conducted by the Military Times of activeduty .personnel around the world. The Post poll, as columni·s't Donald Lambro has · noted, harvested a mass of contradictions. To. begin with, 70 percent of the I ,004 . randomly queried adults say the rate of Americau casualties in Iraq is "unacceptable," and 56 percent say the war is "not worth fighting ." Which sounds like a political recipe for disengagement. But at the same paradoxical time, 58 percent of the same· respondents believe U.S. forces should stay put in Iraq until "civil order is rt;stored," and 48 percent think American efforts to foster democracy in the former dictatorship are making "significant progress." When it comes ~to troops polled, there is no mixed message. Sixty-three percent of the I,423 military respondents approve of Bush's handling of the war, with 60,percent convinced it is a war w.orth fighting. Amo~Jg;co m­ bat vets, that conviction rises to two-thirds. Meanwhile, Diana West 75 percent oppose a inilitary draft, while a colossal 87 percent of th.e military •persorinel say. they're saiisfied with their jobs. Only 25 percent say, given the chance, they would leave the 'service. · The question worth mulling is the "w_ar worth fighting" on~. with eq11ivalent majorities in the military ·and civilian populations at odds over the answer. What do troops overseas know ·that their fellow Americans at home do not? Silly question. They know a lot of things civilians only imagine about life and death, duty and service, love and loss. And.they know a lot of things· out media don't see fit to tell us about Iraqi schools, hospitals, town councils, sewers, law, aid and comfort. And I'm thinking they also know a lot of things about th~ ene,my that just doesn't filter through. · Which is where the president comes in - or should - to explain. The "insurgency" we hear about is a confusing thing, a mis.nomer that conjures up a nationalistic . force of mustachioed Saddam loyalists plotting to restore the only slightly outdated Ba'athist regime. It is this erroneous image of w.hat is r\,:ally a melange of . Ba'athist elements, international jihadist terrorists and state-sponsored operatives that promotes the dangerous notion , showcased by the Kerry candidacy, that the ;war in Iraq is a costly "distraction" from the global war on lsl.amic terror that began in Afghanistan against · Osama bin Laden and the Taliban. .. The National Review's . Michael Ledeen . recently highlighted the flaw in the "insurgency" argument by pointing out that the leading force behind the •terrorist assault on Iraq is Abu Musab al Zarqawi, who is neither a Ba'athist, nor an Iraqi. He is .a Palestinian Arab Muslim from Jordan "who was based in Iran for several years, and who - when the West Europeans found he was creating a terror network in · their countries (primarily Germany and Italy) and protested to the Iranians moved into Iraqi Kurdistan with Iranian protection and support, as the moving force in Ansar allslam." This makes Zarqawi an emblem for the multinational, lslamo-fascist enemies of Iraqi democracy, whjch include, according to evidence, Iran and Sy.ria.
