Get a grip and read again what happen on 9/11.
Time to face reality there are people who want to kill us because we don't want to believe the way they do.
In Iraq you have a nation who is trying to establish rights and allow people to vote for the first time in their history.
Iran is supplying them weapons and who knows what else to stop that from happening.
Casey Sheehan reup because he believe in the mission.
War is ugly but considering the alternative of running away now before the job is done is horror show that people better be ready to face.
Tell you what I will support a troop pull out under the following conditions.
Those who want to pull out now after the next terrorist attack on U.S. soil stand up and take full responiblity for it. They get to face the victims families face to face and say "We didn't like war in Iraq and we pull out too soon. Hope you can forgive us."
Than I join in.

Every voice is a whisper on its own, but when combined with others, those whispers become screams. It might seem hopeless since all you hear at first is the whisper, but if everyone gave in to that mentality there would never be enough whispers to achieve a scream.
Write letters to your state's congressmen and senators, even if they already oppose the war. Tell them this non-binding resolution business isn't enough. And then copy those letters to members of congress who do support Bush's crusade. Encourage everyone you know who opposes the war to do the same. Even the warmongers have to listen when enough people speak out, especially those that are up for re-election in 2008.

The best thing you can do is not to worry about things in life you have no control over. Second, above all else, pro or con, always support your country and the troops that are in harms way. Its the right thing to do.

You make your ' voice ' known with your vote. Whoever your congresspersons and senators are , if they're pro war , don't vote for them. Write them letters and tell them why you are not going to vote for them. Find candidates who are closest to your views and vote for them, not just the party.
Find Peace Groups in your area, just yahoo them and you'll find them.
Write letters to the editors, talk to your local ministers and clergypersons about the war and social justice and how do they justify it.
Speak out on talk shows,even if the hosts disagree with you.
Support people who have spoken out against the war and whose careers have been jeopardized for it , buy Dixie Chicks latest cd, buy Bruce Sprinsteen's music, John Mellancamp, Neil Young.
Put a bumper sticker on your bumper proclaiming your support of the troops but your non support of the war.
Make care packages for injured young vets and send them to hospitals where they are. Talk to them and find out how they really feel about the war and how their government is treating them after their sacrifices.
There's alot you can do , but you have to make a sacrifice too, to be argued with, confronted about your beliefs and where you stand.

Try standing your ground as a cognizant human being and don't listen to others. When a mouth starts to run, it means they're panicking. From the looks of it they're like insurgency tactics scraping the bottom of the barrel. Tend to your house. It is the single most important thing you will do in this life.

Contact Cindy Shehann. Most certainly don't vote for another warmonger, like McCain. It's close to hopeless really when a bully gets elected.

Why don't you "take a stand" against our enemy Islamic Terrorists and their supporters, instead of blaming America first? I am so sick of people like you who CLAIM to be American yet, are so quick to blame America because that is what you are spoon fed by the LEFTIST media and Hollyweird..

You could go back to school and learn proper grammar and spelling, that would take your mind off of things that are beyond your control.
