THE WHOLE IRAQ WAS WAS BASED ON A PRETENSE THAT DIDN'T EXIST.
THERE IS NO LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL.
THE "REASONS" FOR INVADING IRAQ KEPT CHANGING, AND IT WAS ILL-PLANNED.
YOU JUST HAVE TO GO THERE TO SEE THAT NOTHING IS WORKING (EXCEPT FOR SO MANY UNNECESSARY DEATHS).
TRY SPENDING TWO YEARS THERE.

I'm against the war but I'm not. I never have supported the war in Iraq but I was deployed there, twice, on compulsory tours. The only reason I slightly support the war in Iraq now is because I know if we pull out everything will fall to sh!t and the war will no longer be contained in just Iraq. The reason I'm against the war is because I've seen the destruction that it causes. I spent 34 months in a makeshift hospital, I saw 3 month old babies with massive holes in them caused by a bomb, I've seen young boys with 3rd degree burns all over their bodies and I'm sorry but that is not something I'm going to support, I will not support a war that is killing innocent people and tearing away their way of life. I wont support a war that has no definte reason, even in the military no one really knows why the f**k we are there.

I served in Iraq and am hoping to go back to serve again. And Marianne, most soldiers??? I doubt 10% are against the war and most believe in what they are doing. Do you even have a son?

there is no reason for all of these people to die, soldiers and iraqi's. the government does not care about the troops. i remember watching cnn before i deployed to iraq an seeing congress "rallying" for the troops with drinks in there hand. however, when it was time to come back, they said there was no money for flights and redeployments, all the red tape to go through for medical. jobs were lost, our families were not taken care of by the gov't, but by our friends family. the list goes on, but at the end of the day, the gov't will do whatever they want. i love the american people, but i have other feelings for the gov't.

I am the mother of one and I can tell you that most soldiers and their families do oppose this war, they feel that it is wrong to dictate another country what kind of government they should have, it is wrong because they didn't find the weapons of mass destructions, but because they are soldiers they are not permitted to openly express their opinions. A lot of those who have to go back do go back out of a sense of duty toward their comrades--not because they believe that they are fighting for something worthwhile. It is a shame that our boys have to go to Iraq to fight a personal vendetta for Mr. Bush who wanted and got the oil and who wanted revenge for the insult Hussein committed every day to his dad: Hussein had a picture of the old bush on his floor by the door, and every time he walked in, he stepped right into the face of the old Bush---The absolute biggest insult in the arabic world. Those are the true reasons for Bush starting this war. As a matter of fact, he already had his plans ready when he took office. And watch him how he attacks Iran now--comparing them to the Nazis---Bush is getting ready to attack Iran, I am convinced. He sent his Air-Force networking specialists to set up communication networks, so I am sure that the next thing to follow is the Air Force, and as we found out already, Bush always finds a reason to do what he sees fit.....So go and vote this November and then in 2008, because that is the only way you can try to change things around--they will not change if the Republicans can still run the show and November's election will decide who has majority in the House and the Senate---so go vote

Go to move on .org with this anti-war stuff. Maybe you'd like to meet osama just before he chops off your head for allah, because that's what will happen if we stop fighting. It will be Good Bye New York and San Francisco.
