The War In Iraq
First of all I think its important to say that you can support our troops without supporting the war. I have had discussions about this with several people, most recent;y my friend Nate. Just because you may not agree with what is going on over there, doesn't mean you want anything to happen to our servicepeople.
That said...one of the radio stations I work for is an air-america affiliate. They have been going on all morning about teh war in Iraq and how we can't get a staright answer from the Bush Administration about what is really going on there and what we plan to do there.
Bottom line is, I think we can all agree that the Bush Administration says we are there to Liberate the Iraqi people from Sadaam and to help them secure a democracy. If that is the case, now that they have had free elections I suggest another vote that will end the debate and the partisan politics.
LET THE PEOPLE OF IRAQ VOTE WHETHER OR NOT THEY WANT US TO STAY THERE OR RETURN HOME.
If the people of Iraq say they need us and want us to stay, then we have a respobsiblity to them. Afterall we are a major factor in their current state of affairs. It also tells the world, especially other Middle Eastern Nations that we are not occupying them, but helping them and they want our assistance.
If they tell us to go home, we should leave. Why risk the lives of our men and women in the military to protect or serve a nation that really doesn't want us there?
Oh and we should bring some rubber tubes and syphon some oil as we head home. Oh and maybe bring some bulldozers and freight ships to steal some sand too, I mean they have TONS of SAND in the desert and we have major beach erosion problems on the Eastern Seaboard.
