I get soo confused about this issue of war. Does someone really wake up one day and say, "I WANT to go to war, and have my countrymen and women die for no cause at all"? While peace is nice, and a way better idea, it just isn't possible, is it? It has been 12 years now....how much time to you give someone? I don't think someone really wants war/supports war, but, instead, supports the rationale for war/the necessity of war.

I don't want anyone to die, ever, and certainly not for the wrong reason. But, we are at war, the decision has been made, and the troops deserve our support, and prayers.

There seems something ironic about complaining of the freedoms we, as Americans, enjoy so much, but, not wanting to step up to the plate to ensure its continuation, or to see it happen for others.

God bless the troops, all sides/colors/nationalities, and thier families.
