| Re: The armed conflict 1939-45 Most of the protest here in the states seems to be lead by the super rich and the Hollywood movie stars, many of which aren't smart enough to point to Iraq on the map! This world war against terror can not turn into a popularity contest. I can't think a a single war that the general population enjoyed fighting. Let them protest. After all that is what our brave soldiers are fighting for. For their right to protest.
We definately need an exit strategy. If we stay to long they will get dependent on the coalition forces instead of themselves.
We become what we see and hear from the news sources we surround ourselves with. That is why there is so much tension around this issue. There is a huge difference between NPR (national public radio) and Fox News. What ever we listen to we take as true and that forms our opinion about the subject. I would encourage all to talk to a few of the soldiers. Get the real story. Don't be so niave. Don't believe everything you hear on the news. Go to the source. The coalition of the few is doing great things in Iraq even if the liberals won't admit it. |
