Sorry but I'm getting political here because it's my friends, our children’s’ and my money. I agree with SDPB that no one likes war. I don't think we can make a comparison to past wars because each one has new experiences and challenges. I agree and am thankful that America no longer has the guts to fight a war but disagree that it will be our downfall.
I feel for our brave troops who are sacrificing for us and agree that they deserve better. But I am not sure where or why we are going to send in 20,000 more troops because it just ain't gonna do the job. That will only bring the troop level back up to what it was last year. And we were losing the war last year! We've already had over a million troops serve some time in Iraq since 2003. Another few thousand is simply not enough to find those weapons of mass destruction! Er, I mean... bringing those responsible for 9/11 to justice! Um, scratch that. Try this -- BRING DEMOCRACY TO THE MIDDLE EAST! YES!!!
If the reason is we have to send more troops is to win.... No one wins when there is a war. There might be a plus sum effect but no one is a winner.
Peace and love---Scotty
