No, I don't! My son is there and they want to win. They don't want to leave and those people have to back the way it used to be. The new government will all lose their heads. And all of our guys deaths would have been in vain.
A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE
Your alarm goes off, you hit the snooze and sleep for another 10 minutes. He stays up for days on end.
-- --
You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes days or weeks without running water.
-- --
You complain of a "headache", and call in sick. He gets shot at, as others are hit, and keeps moving forward.
-- --
You put on your anti war/don't support the troops shirt, and go meet up with your friends. He still fights for your right to wear that shirt.
-- --
You make sure you're cell phone is in your pocket. He clutches the cross hanging on his chain next to his dog tags.
-- --
You talk trash on your "buddies" that aren't with you. He knows he may not see some of his buddies again.
-- --
You walk down the beach, staring at all the pretty girls. He walks the streets, searching for insurgents and terrorists.
-- --
You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his brow.
-- --
You go out to lunch, and complain because the restaurant got your order wrong. He does not get to eat today.
-- --
You make your bed and wash your clothes. He wears the same things for months, but makes sure his weapons are clean.
-- --
You go to the mall and get your hair redone. He doesn't have time to brush his teeth today.
-- --
You are angry because your class ran 5 minutes over. He is told he will be held an extra 2 months.
----
You call your girlfriend and set a date for that night. He waits for the mail to see if there is a letter from home.
-- --
You hug and kiss your girlfriend, like you do everyday. He holds his letter close and smells his love's perfume.
-- --
You roll your eyes as a baby cries. He gets a letter with pictures of his new child, and wonders if they'll ever meet.
-- --
You criticize your government, and say that war never solves anything. He sees the innocent tortured and killed by their own government and remembers why he is fighting.
-- --
You hear the jokes about the war, and make fun of the men like him. He hears the gun fire and bombs.
-- --
You see only what the media wants you to see. He sees the bodies lying around him.
-- --
You are asked to go to the store by your parents. You don't. He does what he is told.
-- --
You stay at home and watch TV. He takes whatever time he is given to call and write home, sleep, and eat.
-- --
You crawl into your bed, with down pillows, and try to get comfortable. He crawls under a tank for shade and a 5 minute nap, only to be woken by gun fire
-- --
You sit there and judge him, saying the world is a worse place because of men like him. If only there were more men like him.

Bring them home. My son is in the Air Force and he sez bring 'em home. The war was bad from the start. We have no place complaining about Saddam.. George Bush Sr. put him in power when he was the head of the CIA. He's what we wanted. There weren't terrorists there until we invaded. No Iraqi's were involved in 9/11, only Bush's Saudi friends were involved.
Even if we manage to help them establish a new government with the illusory appearance of stability, once we leave (and it doesn't matter when we leave or how long we stay) that government will still fall and the country will still break apart and descend into chaos.
We destroyed the only person capable of actually holding Iraq together (even if he was a monster) and the only reason we did it was so greedy American corporations could USE our children to steal Iraqs oil!

The US troop has installed for bring out the peace and liberty in Iraq. It is not the time for relieve from the nation, since the nation they fought is not attained peace. They have to stand for some more time to generate democracy and self governance, it is the ultimate mandatory for the US troops. Until then US troops may not return.

no individual gained and it wasn't nicely worth it in any respect. the in uncomplicated phrases those who benefited from it were the politicians who profiteered from the quick political stability. besides the undeniable fact that now the warfare is over and now all those harmless and noble lives were lost, Iraq and Afghanistan will little doubt fall decrease back less than an same type of regime because it had previously. also many people in those international places will now carry higher resentment in route of the west. i'm happy the troops are returning abode. besides the undeniable fact that they ought to by no skill were despatched there in the first position. Now such assorted of their households are mourning their loss.

Absolutely not. I want to see our troops home and safe but if we walked out now than it would be wrong. We need to finish what we started this time.
