None on this forum can say they are more supportive of the troops than me, I just happen to be the father of a few of these troops. Alright Saddam is a despot but was he a threat to us? Absolutely not. We had him contained by the no fly zones. Would he have allowed Bin Laden bases in Iraq? Again, absolutely not. Bin Laden's mob are shiites, these were the people Saddam was keeping under his thumb. There is no way he would have allowed armed shiites in his country. This is a bad war that is getting good kids killed because Bush wanted revenge for the attempt on his father's life. <br />I understand that our form of government puts our armed forces under a civilian President as Commander-inChief, but would it be so bad to demand that anyone running for that position should have in his resume, a tour with a full time part of our military so that they could know what a soldier, sailor or airman's life is really like and think twice before commiting them in harms way. Remember, these boys and girls are volunteers, they weren't dragged in with a draft. That is why so many National Guard units are being activated today to fill the manpower shortage. Not like the Vietnam war that was fought mainly by draftees and joining the National Guard was just another way of draft dodging.
