The VietNam War was a mistake, and this present conflict is even worse. We had no business invading Iraq - they had nothing to do with 9/11. This war has been about money, oil, power and ego from the beginning. I call it George's Folly, and the sooner we are out of there, the safer we will be.

The sooner he is out of office, the safer we will be.

I totally agree with you Grace.

Everyone knows now that George Bush and his pals lied to us about the WMD. We were led into this war on false pretenses. Our own president lied to us. Our friends around the world do not support us, they have no respect for Bush. Laying to us and endangering our people is not being a good leader, or a good man. If someone such as Hilary voted for the war it was because Bush gave false statements. She like most people belived him, that was her mistake. I sure she won't make it again.
I totally support every military personal. That does not mean I have to support the war. I pray for their safety and do what I can to help them all come home safe. If I am being selfish wanting my son safe, well then be it so. Every sane mom wants that. There are mothers in the Middle East that encourge their sons and daughters to strap bombs on themselves and blow up as many innocent victims as possible. I do not can not understand this.
If you knew me you would know how proud of my son I am. He has so many talents, he is such a good man. He served his country proudly and in fact still does. I am behind him 100% but I don't want him to have to go overseas and suffer both physically and mentally for a lie. People don't understand war, they think it is over for you when you return, it is not. The things you see, hear, smell are with you a lifetime. People talk about the stress of 9/11 well if you are in a war zone 9/11 is EVERYDAY and everyday you are in the Towers watching people you love die. That is war. We as a nation suffered and wept for our people on 9/11, more soldiers have died overseas for this war then died in the towers. It was a horrible thing that happened that day. And it is a horrible thing that is happening to our children and husbands now. One of my best friend's husband just came back after serving a year. He is a different man. Gone is the sweet, loving father and husband, in his place is an angry, bitter, frightened shell of a man. I don't know if their marriage will surive. That is war. No man or woman who serves is ever the same. No family is ever like it was. As the strongest country on this planet we should be the peacemakers. Instead we have a president that lied to us and led us into a war, killing our people, damaging families and leading to disrespect through out the world.
As for the question what is freedom worth to me? Freedom does not have to come by war, it can come by kindness as well.
