<<...I can't say that I really know any Gulf War vets well enough to know their opinions, but in just listening to people as I run around the city, I hear very few that are happy with the way our President handled the situation. Many feel that Saddam needed to go, but W seemed focused on war.....any attempt at diplomacy was just hoop jumping. Many people feel that we exhibited poor judgement and damaged or inflamed international relationship needlessly. My Dad is a vet and quite conservative, he is very unhappy...>> Scott: Thnx for sharing...I have heard similar concerns from friends and from relatives around the country -- even from my uncle who used to be very conservative (he was a VietNam war hero and is a retired opthamologist who now volunteers on medical missions to help eradicate polio in countries like Pakistan and Sudan...In the last two years he has become increasingly cynical about the management of our Foreign Affairs and he has great concerns about sending our troops into Iraq when other options may not have been exhausted...He agrees with many of the 'Veterans For Common Sense' folks and knows some of them). I support our troops 100% and I know they will follow through on their mission to the best of their ability. Yet, I feel 'the Nation Building' effort in Iraq once we control the country will be much more complex than many Administration officials could ever imagine...There has never been a democracy in that country over the last 3000 years...We can assist the innocent Iraqi citizens in some rebuilding efforts BUT if he become viewed as a colonialist or an occupying power in an Arab country The United States will dramatically increase the risk of stimulating more terrorism on our shores....JMHO. regards, -s2@letrememberourtroopstonight.com
