Leaving or staying will not take the blood off our hands.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of blood on my hands, I am going to go kill my neighbor's dog. Because only killing people is wrong. It's not wrong to kill a stupid, agressive, garbage-eating, dump-in-my-yard-taking animal nobody cares about. That is mercy.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652737346135197054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-63591629258809728212008-05-20T14:31:00.000-04:002008-05-20T14:31:00.000-04:00The truth is that casualties in post-Saddam Iraq a...The truth is that casualties in post-Saddam Iraq are not much different from the Iraq that was ruthlessly ruled by Saddam (http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/2000/09/iraq-000918.htm). What is different now is that Americans (who knew the risk and still chose to serve) are being killed (and are doing very little, if any, killing of innocents). To be sure, US and other ally forces are exacting a cost on the true killers in Iraq - namely the factions of radial Islam doing business as Al Qaeda, radical elements of both Sunni and Shiite's, and foreign influencers (Iran, Syria) working to stir dissention. A sudden end to the war would not only remove the peace-keeping forces that are in place, but would also remove the only organization capable of rebuilding efforts in Iraq - the US Military. This would leave a population to suffer in primitive conditions under constant threat of starvation, torture and death. Four more years of American presence for the purpose of securing an rebuilding Iraq can only help.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008093464366173038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-23977660793091654102008-05-15T17:30:00.000-04:002008-05-15T17:30:00.000-04:00Amen.Amen.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13652737346135197054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1467233175753661815.post-89103690087644810462008-05-15T17:11:00.000-04:002008-05-15T17:11:00.000-04:00I think that voting for someone who wants to conti...I think that voting for someone who wants to continue this war is the same voluntarily choosing to continue killing people.<BR/><BR/>And I cannot think of any things that are as wrong as killing people.<BR/><BR/>This war has made me so sad and angry. There is enough misery going on in the world without the wars that our country starts... what egos those people in charge must have to say that this is the right way to be a part of the world.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695815097147497316noreply@blogger.com
