Not all the public, just the ones like you.
I really don't blame you, your opinon is yours. Thats what I love about America. You and I obviously dissagree , and we debate it in the open, and the thought police isn't going to come after ethier of us. Yet.
I blame a political climate where the opposition party can say yes we need to go to war for the same reasons the President stated. Then they can sit back and snipe, and call him a liar to a fawning press that will play the same old crap over and over again until your head explodes.
I blame political leaders , and citizens , who are so zelious to have their way, and make their point, that they say anything or do anything. Even if it gives aid, comfort , and encouragement to the enemies of our troops over. A lot of liberials keep saying this is another Vietnam. If it's not their going to do everything in their power to try and make it one.
My own personal opinon is I wish we never went. I'd rather give Middle East Extremeist one warning. For every American you kill in the USA we'll kill 100 in the Middle East. By the way we'll do it without putting boots on the ground. We'll take your bellybutton out from a distance , and won't miss one quarter of Monday Football worrying about it.
However we did go , we are there. It's also my opinon that since we are there. We ethier kick bellybutton and take names, with extreme prejudice. Hunt down the problem and eliminate it.
I've had two sons serve in Iraq. Travis my oldest went in with the 4th Inf Division in April 2003. He served 12 months there. On the day he returned from Iraq in April 2004 we were notified his younger brother Thomas who had been in country since Jan 2004 with the 1st Cav Div had been wounded in Bahgdad. Thats a hell of homecoming. Our family was very lucky Thomas took shrapnel wounds from a morter shell , and was only lightly wounded in the left shoulder. The bad part was he had to stay over there and served 14 months in Iraq fighting in the Battle of Fallugia last year. He got home this past April a few scars but none the worse for the wear.
This doesn't make my opinon more important than yours by any means Sandman. However maybe you can understand my impaitence with people who want to belittle the effort over there.
