Let freedom ring ---while I find the role play in question --not to my liking ---I do not think it is a stain ---but more of a mark of the freedom we have --to say and do as we please ---but yes we do tend to for get about the lessons from it ----we sat by and seen what Saddam did to his own people in Iraq--as well as Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Kosovo ---when will we learn to step in sooner and not let thousands of people die at the whim of a dictator

Why can we not help a people sooner ---we did the same thing in WWII
we waited until we were attacked ---do these other people not matter

what is wrong with the world and the US in particular----now we are wanting to pull troops out of Iraq ----what do you think will happen to the people there ----we do not care as long as we do not loose a soldier ----let me tell you that today ----soldiers and Marines and all branchs of the service volunteer-----no one forced them to sign up -----they signed up to put their life on the line ---it is part of the job---

even the reserve and the national guard is all volunteer ---they did not mind taking the college benifits when they signed up ---now it is time for them to do something in return for that ---

I am speaking my opinion ----Why do we no longer Care----it was only a good cause because of 911---now we tire of the cause --or the price is too high----is it too high to keep it from happening agian???

these soldiers and Marines are paid to put their life on the line ---I did many times in the service of my country -----If someone has to die ---God let it be soldiers and Marines ---not the innocent that died in 911---that are dieing in Iraq---when Terrorist blow up hundreds of thier own people to get a few soldiers or Marines -----What the hell is that Telling us?

It tells me they do not care about their own people ---and that we damn well need to be there?

sorry just my opinion as a person who does care and give a damn and is pissed off because he can not be in Iraq with his sons
