6. hey, the families are entitled to that
but unfortunately, it is just an illusion if they believe they children died for a cause. Most Americans don't even think about the war, or the 120 degree temperatures in full uniform the soldiers are working in

A war based on a lie is a terrible thing. It has NOW become a civil war which we are in the middle of

We had better think hard and fast how we are going to get out of this mess that we should never be in. I doubt the U.N. will provide much support now since idiot boy refused their help right after Saddam Hussein fell.

What will eventually be is a Shiite theocracy aligned with Iran

The question is how long will America tolerate this?

I think for quite some time, unless of course they institute a draft, but they know that. I suspect they will be much more subtle.

My warning to everyone be aware of any democrat or republican who calls for mandatory national service where they can choose the Army or the "peace corps", or some other helpful action. It will be a prelude to a hidden draft.
