Its now down to Twelve Months. The man is a hero in Iraq and will come out rich. When will the USA learn that not all countries want to be like it.

the rushie herbert hoover neocons will tell you that the most important thing is freedom and democracy in iraq ... that it is far more important than the economy at home, than health care, or the auto, housing or financial industries ... and when the shoes where thrown at our fuehrer ... he was quick to point out the it was a clear case of freedom of speech in action ... proof of we have succeeded in iraq and it was worth whatever the cost and that history will vindicate the rushie neocons

Yep I have a GPS and microchip in my drivers license to prove my citizenship to president who can not even provide a birth certificate. Its A SERIOUS nation security issue.

I guess a big problem is that what we Americans think is 'doing right by the Iraqis' is probably not the same thing that the Iraqis would want done by them.

I'm re-reading 'The Guns of August' again and am very struck by how similar our country's behavior in all this has been to that of pre-WW I Germany. We project our own wishes on others and then fail to understand why they would want different things for themselves. Our not enough exposure to other cultures doesn't help, I suppose.

Its all about a one world government, nothing more, nothing less. And it is only a matter of time untill the people will fight back.

In closing, mrfest18 you may hear this a lot but truly I thank you for giving your time, your life, to something that is indeed noble, just and honorable. And people, I know the doo-doo analogy was "cheesy" but I couldn't think of nothing else to describe...what the hell I was trying to get across. Maybe I could be a poet or something....

To all those I wish a Merry Christmas(if thats politically correct nowadays) Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Hanukkah and all of the other holidays out there.

What I think I am trying to say overall is that there is a chance or opportunity if you will to make right what is wrong; to still give honor to those who sacraficed their time and those who sacraficed their lives. I'm going to use this as a poor analogy but nonetheless an analogy. Its like having doo-doo, you can use doo-doo on a flower bed as fertalizer and eventually you will have pretty looking flowers. You can take the worst of things and make the best of things.

I wonder to myself sometimes, on trivial things, what is the meaning of this or that? Whats the use? I grew up on a military post and I know nothing of military life in the sense of being enlisted but I believe that in light of what the reasons are for going to Iraq, whether good or bad, there is a chance or "use" to make something good of it. Something that says "Hey, America did this and

these things happened but look what has become of it now"....
