I just hate seeing Americans die for this. But we caused this mess by getting rid of the tyrant that caged them, executed innocent people to keep order. Huge lessons have been learned by all. The hard way."

Pgardn,
I agree. It got tired a long while ago. I also hate seeing Americans die for this. Over 2800 and counting. The wounded? Over 11,000. (Ours).
These are just kids that wanted to serve our country and do their duty.
Most of the "middle class" in Iraq (1.4 million) are running for the borders to seek sanctuary somewhere else. So, even when it's over, hopefully someday soon, there will be few dentists, teachers, business owners. They're running for their lives. Innocent victims of insanity??? Yup...but not Saddam's.
Huge lessons...need to be relearned for those that were ignorant regarding prior lessons.
Is there any question as to why the rest of the Earth's nations no longer believe in our "good intentions"?
Our actions have spoken louder than our words.
Such a shame.
Guess that's what we get for allowing madmen to run it for us. It reminds me of the Nixon years...or dare I say...1933 Germany.
Very sad. Very.
I anquish for all the families, not only the American ones, that have paid a high price for believing in this game that offers no "do overs".
We bought it. We own it.
God help us all.

Well said.

I fear nothing will change until the lobbyists are booted out of Washington.
