I say everyone who is for the war in Iraq should be allowed to sign up for the military!
Old or young, lame or walking. Somehow those that want the war should all be responsible for the war.
Some right wing Christians are not aware of what mental health is and how the soldiers are coming back really messed up witd PTSD.
Been there, done that , got the shirt...whats your point.

LOL! they are bad, they want us dead, we should not fight them.
im confused. exactly how do you stop these people if you dont fight them? LOL!
crazy.
Im corn fused.
Ferd I am going to say this, it's not about war but is about defense. I live in a rural area, at one time we had maybe one or two relatively close neighbors. Burglars were going around stealing guns from peoples homes while they were at work. I was at that time the only stay at home mom close by. And yes we have guns. Anyway I saw 2 people trying to go in one of my neighbors windows. So I hollered at them and asked them what they thought they were doing. They said oh we know them and they said if we came by to just come on in. The doors were locked so we were just gonna go in a window. I am not stupid so I told them I had called the sheriff before I confronted them. I am not quite 5" tall and weighed about 95 lbs. They took off because I had my 12 gauge in my hands. A deputy came by and took a report and we talked some and I asked him what should I do if someone tried to break in my house. He said let them come all the way in and shoot them. You could shoot them before or during but it's best to let them get inside for self defense purposes I guess. Of course I live in Texas and we are a whole nother country.

I live in Texas too. the law has changed recently. Now you could have shot that guy going in the neighbors house.
back when that happened, you would have to go before a grand jury.
bottom line, we have really tightened up in Iraq and the violence has decreased. we killed the bad guys and this time didnt leave any place for them to hide. if we keep up the heat in Iraq, that place will settle down.
for those that want a full pull out, remember we are still in Germany 60 years after the end of WW2.

They won't come for you. They don't care about you. They care about the big military that is around taunting people and on their land.
If someone was on your soil...see you get upset but then it is ok with you if we go on theirs, blow up their lands, accidentally killed some woman and children and enforce our political system.
My question is: Why is it Ok for you to do that to people but they can't do it to you?
These such statements are made by hipocrites.
Sigh.
WMD's ? Nope. Nukes? Nope. Terrorist? Nope. So why did we go? Ohhh yeah! Biological weapons Sadam was using on his own people. Mass graves of hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. A dictator that picked women off the street to play with in his rape-room. Thousands of dollars given to Palastinian terror groups to blow up civilians in Israel. Come on people, did we do it right? No. Should we be doing it? Yes. Bush offered twice the troops when we first went in and the commanders on the ground said "we don't need that many" They should have took the offer. We did not have enough troops to secure what we were occupying. And yes we are now the police until the Iraqi government can provide it's own. Front Page says 5 died today. Yet I have to "literally" dig through Yahoo,MSN, to find the story about the orphanage we raided were we found hundreds of children bound, naked and sexually abused by insurgents. Or the stories of the schools and hospitals "we" are building. (We is emphasized due to me being a member of the US Navy Seabees Construction Battalion)Troops playing with children or feeding the poor. Look, Bush is not the best we have had. But he is the best there was to choose from. He did not come into office knowing 9/11 was going to happen or knowing some rogue dictator was going to build nukes to "wipe a country off the face of the map". He came into office to lower taxes and build the economy which he did, and quite well I might add,. It offends me for you people to sit over here and say " its all for nothing". This website could not hold the stories of thankful Iraqi's I could talk about. I will gladly pick up my weapon again and go share a candy bar with an Iraqi child or knock some more doors down, kill 2 or 3 armed thugs and pull the woman from the back room, bleeding from between the legs, and carry her to a waiting ambulance. If that were your sister you might see things differently. If it were your mother going to the grocery store one day just to be taken off the street by the president of this country and raped for days at a time then maybe you would be the one praying everynight for someone, anyone, to come take the nightmare away. But instead you wake up every morning wondering what flavor latte you will have, while they wake every morning wondering which family member they will bury today. For the most part this war has no effect on your lives whatsoever.
The economy is good, the market is strong and the illegal immigrants are still a pain in the butt, but I get up to a sunrise, wake and have breakfast with my daughter before taking her to school and kiss my wife good morning. WHY? Because I killed some people over there that don't want me to have this. One day I will go back again and I might take a bullet this time, but I do so knowing it's because I want my family and all of you to go on enjoying the above. You want to open a forum about the war?, open it to troops and the citizens of Iraq, those who are effected by it. As for the rest of you, open a forum to gripe about the price of a latte, I've given you the right and freedom to that.
I relinqish the stump for I am done.
