I dooubt this will answer your question, but simply put. The fact that America is plit right down the middle with very little political grey area really sucks, for a lack of better words.
The war in Iraq is not just going to go away the second a Democrat becomes president. We have far too much invested in that country to just walk away.
If a Democratic president gets elected, and it will happen in 08, will you say the same things about that president if they choose to not pull out of Iraq?
Hilliary Clinton has already siad that pulling out of Iraq completely would be a stupid thing. I would venture as far as to say that most dems agree with her.
You have to agree that there are probably more corrupt politicans on both sides of the fence, who are more concerned with lining their own pockets then actually empowering the people of America. Human beings in general are flawed and a survival instinct is inside allof us and you simply cannot ignore it or shut it off sometimes. This survival button has cuased politicians to pull for whatever team digs deeper into their pockets.
I really hate to say this but I really think this is how its done now. It makes me sad, but its the golden rule. He who has the most gold makes the rules. I am by no means making excuses for anyone, because both sides are guilty of this and I hope that it simply werent the case.
Iraq may be the result of a very powerful lobbyist or a personal agenda for Bush, but I guarantee Bush os not in this one by himself. He is really not that smart.
Your son is fighting and continues to fight so that places like TFProject can remain open and free from government censorship. His life should be more important than any political agenda or your feelings on why he's there. It simply does not matter. He is there and there is nothing you can do aboutit except support him. Be there for him. He has seen and done things you could only imagine and he will be foreve changed. you will never get him to see things the way you think they are and he will never be able to change your mind. Understand that he is there and he knows things that youwould never understand or believe. we in America are controlled by the media and we believe whatever they tell us. We are not in Iraq. We cannot see things for ourselves and IMO the Media reports only what they want and it is never the whole story. Be strong and love your on, beproud of him. He is standing up for what he believes in, just like you are only he is doing it with his life.

Besides how on earth do we know who is right about the war in Iraq. Every argument has a counter and both sides feel they are more right. Nobody knows why we are in Iraq and it may be better that way.
If we knew every government secret, we would most liekly live in fear for the rest of lives.
