I just read the account of the killing and mutilation of our troops yesterday in Google News under the ensuing article that spoke about our withdrawing our troops because of the obvious ...or jihad...and not being welcomed at all.. as foreign newspapers are suggesting. It certainly was mind boggling to read the report of Americans hanging from bridges after being dragged through the streets and through their own blood. It makes me even more upset that we ever got into this quagmire. I was part of the WW II where our troops were welcomed. This war is something we took to the wrong Country after 9/11 and I anguish as anyone of you who reads these reports and feels at all bound to the men who are over there must feel. I would just hate to be the parents of these men or wife or child. Makes one really hate all wars. Hate the killing maiming and hate... that exists.. And then my feelings go toward our President and his administration who dragged us into this for WMD and now it is for liberating a oppressed people. The reasons can be dreamed up upon demand. What counts is we are there and we shouldn't be in MHO...

Saddam is captured and they are free of him. They are free to leave their country, which is one of the most important, basic elements of freedom. There is much work ahead. Everyone, including President Bush knows that. Apparently you are confused about it. The most important thing is that the process has started. If it were not for President Bush's courage and foresight, people like like you would still be trying to prevent it. This conceivably could have been a negotiated solution a year ago. You did not want that. You defended the murdering dictator. These events may be the most important process of ultimately bringing good people in the world together in your lifetime. Once Arabian countries have their own freedom and success, they will not waste their time hating you. Some of them really do want to KILL you. The process in Iraq fundamentally addresses the core root of hate against you. You saw that hate in New York on 9/11/01. Party Time's solution is to let terrorist be terrorists. Is that your solution?
