What do Terri Schiavo, U.S. soldiers, and the people of Iraq have in common? The Left knows what's good for them, and wants to speak for them.
Corporal Michael Oreskovic of the US army lost his left arm in combat, and he wants to go back. He says there's a lot of amputees who want to go back.
He also says that soldiers who go home to the US on leave often are anxious to get back to their unit in combat. He says there are two reasons. One is out of guilt and loyalty to the men who are not on leave. The other reason is that they get tired of people expressing their disapproval of the war.
Now that's quite a statement. Many soldiers would rather return to war than be subjected to the naysayers who don't respect a soldier's job.
You see, the Left knows the soldiers feel betrayed and want to come home, because that's how the Left feels. (Link to this Not in Our Name pdf and start at page 14. Compare this to Oreskovic's own words at cspan.)
The Left knows Terri wouldn't have wanted live like she does, because they wouldn't want it.
The Left knows that the Iraqi people wish we hadn't come to fight for their freedom, because the Left hates war.
The Left knows what you want, because they know what they want. And if you don't want what they want, well you should, and they'll demand it for you because they know better than you.

I checked on that Not in Our Name citation. You will not be suprised to find that NION is guilty of intellectual dishonesty. First, here is the title of the article they cited:
Injured fighter wants to soldier on
And here are two parts of the article they left out:
Oreskovic is a born-to-fight soldier impatient with whiners - himself or others. So when he says he wants his arm back, what he means is he wants to be able to return to battle alongside his comrades
This a classic Liberalism. Just Lie. It's easier and makes you seem smart to the uninformed. Here's some more from tyhe article that they left out:
Oreskovic said he's skeptical about the chances of democratic reform in Iraq, but contends that the United States was right to remove Saddam Hussein, a man "who was committing genocide against his own people."
He also defends Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's assertion that soldiers have to do their best with whatever equipment and support the military can muster.
"I wish I had Star Trek technology with force field protection, but that's not the way it is," he said. "You can't make everything into a tank."
They do not, of course, indicate that their 'reprint' of the article is edited. Shameful.
