Never be sorry for speaking from the heart, mellyn. I, too, support our
troops and not their mission. Continuing our imperialistic stranglehold over the region by force and calling it liberation is the height of arrogance. Yet, the troops are merely doing their duty, one created for them by their commander-in-chief.

HI SAUL
I know the pain of losing a child. And because I am against the lie of this war does not mean that I don't support the soldiers. My heart goes out to them and their families. It saddens me that they have to stand with pride so they can accept their sons death because they cannot get their hands around Bushs neck and watch his eyes pop out of his ugly lying terrorist head. sorry, mellyn

But let them die for their freedom, FLIGHTPATH. We weren't asked by a
rebel insurgency to step in. Dubya got a sign from god and he had a mission. Something about fixing something he felt his dad left broken or unfinished or something. If the Iraqi people aren't willing to fight the tyranny themselves, or even start an insurgency, there is no reason to force 'freedom' upon them. If they can't stand on their own then to hell with them. But, see, it's all about destabilization in the region and people unable to fight for themselves. You can believe that underdog bullshit all you want. They've been fighting in Eritreia and parts of Afghanistan and Kashmir and a few other places (Ireland) for hundreds of years for their freedom or sovereignty. They weren't fighing in Iraq (except the Kurds). And we weren't asked to intervene. If the Bush doctrine of spreading freedom is such a great idea, why haven't we invaded the Sudan (for Darfur), which, by the way, does have ties, easily verifiable connections, with bin Laden. I say bring our boys home and if the Iraqis want the freedom we've given them a chance to embrace, then they can damn well step to it. There's been too much blood, money, and time spilt in Iraq for a people who won't stand for themselves.

Freedom is, and always has been, hard won.
