There is so— much truth to the term “pride goeth before the fall”. Referencing war & economic challenges, why is it that the higher our position is, the harder it becomes for us to hear the voice of common people? Do I need to repeat that?

This issue of war is a personal one for me. My husband is in the Army & scheduled to be deployed sometime this fall. I’m conflicted. I want my husband to stay home with his family or at least not be gone as long {over a year now}. I agree with Lincoln. We did go in & turn this country upside down and we do have a responsibility to clean up our mess. However, where’s the line? There comes a point when they have to help themselves and get their own stuff together. I believe we’ll always have some kind of presence there but I don’t think it should be to the extent that it is now. I recently watched a program that focused on events that took place before we went to war. I recommend anyone watching it. It upset me.

Uh…

So you would prefer to see an entire country implode just to get our boys home? Whether people agree with the war or not, we went over there and wiped out their regime. Don’t you think we have a responsibility then in ensuring that a stable government is left behind before withdrawing altogether? Don’t you think we owe the Iraqis at least that much?

You can believe that going to war was not a Christian act, but how does turning our back on a nation of people any less Christ-like, especially when we were the ones responsible for taking away their only form of government?

I think a great deal more thought needs to be given to this rather complex issue instead of singing mushy songs and demanding our government act according to our own usually ill-informed perceptions.

I don’t have to watch Mc Hammer blog, for me, what ever war is still a big no no for me. In Iraq .. after read the news of America memorial days, and seen a grave yard of late american soldier, I wish that Bush will end his war. It’s too much .. been too much for the lost mother, father, wife, husband, child and grandchild. …

[...] Finally, as my husband, Manchild, wrote to the President in his post, “Bring Our Brothers Home (Revised)”: “Saying, ‘I was wrong,’ or ‘I made a mistake’ or ‘I’ve changed my mind’ just might produce the ’shock and awe’ you [Mr. President] sought when you initiated an escalating civil war that human hands will never win. As always, the choice to do so is yours alone to make. Only a bad wind refuses to change directions.” [...]
