62 million or so voted in favor of the war in Iraq in 04. Yet they had to lower the quotas for the army in order to make it look like they were meeting there goals. So weather or not you served in Iraq is not the issue Sir. The issue is that a very large majority of the people who do support that effort are not sacraficing. The proof is in the plain numbers.

WTF would I care about Cloony and wtf do you care? But to comment on that briefly. The civil war in Iraq or however you want to label it, it is a civil war we created. Darfur is a civil war on a much broader scale.

As for life being better or worse under Saddam. That is the Iraqies business and something they will have a long time to determine.

I agree with you, you don't understand this so called liberal foreign policy, but then, you didn't understand the difference between the civil war in iraq and the civil war in darfur.

The level of voilence has gone up since the US election? Dude, in the month or two before the election they were saying the level of voilence in Iraq was going up because of the election. So which is it? Here is my quick thought on that. First, the voilence is increasing in Iraq plain and simple and has been for most of the post invasion. Secondly, events like elections certainly can play a role in wars and play into the hands of terrorists, insurgents, religious extremists and freedom fighters (call them anything you want, they are all over there now). It is part of the equation Sir, nothing more, nothing less. it is part of war
