Regardless of if this war if for "democracy" or for "oil", I seriously doubt anyone that died on September 11th would want 2000 more of their fellow citizens to die for them. There is a saying "Charity starts at home". When there is less poverty , less homelessness, less hardship overall here at home I might believe Bush has interests other than his own and his "base" as he calls the "haves and the have mores". I was incensed by September 11th, I was thrilled when we invaded Afghanistan and again when we went into Iraq. I stood by Bush ,even though I consider myself a Democrat, when he unveiled the "Mission Accomplished" banner. Even for awhile after that I still thought we had done the right thing. Then more guys started dying, more troops started going over there. When a mission is "accomplished" we are supposed to ramp down, not up. When it started coming out that the intelligence was flawed I didn't want to believe it at first but since it was the same news agencies that had led me to believe we were right to go into Iraq why shouldn't I believe them when they have new information. I want to say that I totally support the military-they had no choice. They are doing the job they signed up for. The problem is they are obeying faulty orders given by people that ( I don't think anyway) really don't have the best interests of this country or the men they are commanding at heart. I also don't think we can just pull out-the war has destroyed so much that we have to clean up our mess. Were we to just leave things as they are the warlords would take over and everything we supposedly fought to end would come back to being.
