Speaking my mind about a dirty, thankless job.........

If you want to see how "off the beam" people have come - visit YouTube. I saw several clips of our troops in Iraq hunting down murderers - but one individual clip ended with a picture of Bush and the caption "The ........... who started all this!"

Hmmm....How soon we forget what happened as a result of doing nothing.
Remember 9/11?
No, I guess not.

Too often the persons that do a crime are forgotten... and it's the fault of someone else! We want instant food, instant messenger, instant drinks, instant gratification, instant war results. The war is not popular with anybody! Nobody LIKES it! We do what we feel we have to do.

Those who think that if we came home now the terrorists would forget us and leave us alone have short memories. Terrorists take pride in killing Americans, all Americans....not to mention Iraqis. We - go after murderers. There is a big difference.

Can't find an instant solution to solving the Iraq war? Oh well....let's just forget the whole thing and come home and hide out in our own country...until they hit us again. THEN let's just call the terrorist names. That ought to do it! That's what we did before 9/11 - it should work just like that did, right? Wait a minute -- It worked???

I suppose it's all in what you call it. Some call our being over in Iraq - aggression. ( 9/11 wasn't?) I call what we are doing now is trying to protect the innocent. There are people being killed by suicide bombers. - How anyone can say WE are killing those killed by those atrocities is beyond me. But then, who said what is said with the eye on the next election year is logical?
