A vietnam vet said it best.

" I have no regrets concerning our involvement in Iraq.
I would rather, MUCH rather, get the terrorists in thier own
neighborhoods
than coming through my kitchen door.

I don't think the media is doing a good job of telling us what is
really
happening in Iraq. They show us a crowd of a 100 people that are ****ed

about something, but they never show us the 900 people that are tickled
to
death that we have set them free. I don't think that we should be there
any
longer than needed, but "longer than needed" is a rather subjective
term.
How long should it take to "impose" freedom on a suppressed population?
Do
we really "impose" freedom, or do we stay long enough to help the
freedom to
take root? Should we help freedom to take root, or should we flee at
the
first sign of opposition? Should we protect ourselves and spread
freedom
around the globe, or should we allow tyrannical dictators to rule with
fear
and oppression?


Should we sit silently when we are outragiously attacked, or should we
stand
up for our own rights and way of life? If you think that your way of
life is
not worth standing up for, then maybe you should move to another
country.
Personally, I am going to defend my way of life, even if that means
that I
will be sending my own kids and my neighbor's kids into the line of
fire. I
have stood in that line, so I know what I am talking about. My leaders
are
doing the right thing, despite what the naysayers have to say."

Amen
