Bush is a war criminal for lying to us and misleading the world regarding WMD's! Funny how the FBI can wiretap a NY Governor's phones to find out he's sleeping with escorts, but can't get critical info on WMD's right! Unbelievable!
I'm all about supporting our troops. I would not be able to do the job that they do. I don't know if we are doing the right thing or not but I do know that if it wasn't for America and their help, there would be a lot of countries in sorry shape. I am thankful that our country cares about other people. My cousin is in Iraq now, my sister went to fight in this war when it started and now she's leaving to do it again. While I am sad that she must go, she does it because she loves her country and values the freedom it has earned. So, a big Thank you and hugs to all the troops and all that you do and sacrifice for the world. We love you and whether we agree with this or not we should support all of you.....
Oh, and anonymous....spend your energy on something you can change not something you can't. Sit outside a grocery store and have people sign cards and collect money for the troops in 30 degree weather like I did. Have a preschool make a flag out of their hands for the troops, you have no idea how they value this. Call businesses and ask for donations for the troops to make their time over there a little better you wouldn't believe how much my sister's maint company loved this. Run in a half marathon with a flag to show how much you love your country and support your troops like I'm going to. Quit stewing over it and turn it into positive energy. You are the type that bring the troops down when they need our support.
'Positive energy' you say? You must be kidding! What is more positive than being against this illegal, ludicrous war (that even tons of Republicans and troops now say is wrong), and speaking out against it so that our troops can come home before one more dies, and one more family is torn apart?! And for your information, I have donated time and money to our troops. How dare you? I am the type that SUPPORTS our troops by pointing out how immoral and wrong this war is, and by stressing the importance of them coming home!
