People that are for the war and go out and protest people that are against the war confuse me. The people who are against the war in Iraq, for example, go out and take signs that say some things like "War is wrong! Bring out troops home!" and the people who are for the war have signs that say things like "Support our troops!" or "Home of the free because of the brave!". They don't seem to understand at all what the anti-war people are saying. They seem to think that the people who are against the war are people who hate the military troops. That's completely false. They are saying that the WAR itself is wrong, not the troops that are over there because they were told they have to be. They support the troops, in fact, more than those who support the war because they want to bring the troops home where they will be safe. Personally, I agree with alot of people out there who say we really had no business going to war with Iraq. A guy was sent to see if Iraq was attempting to get stuff to make weapons from Egypt. He did his investigation and came to the conclusion that they were not. Then president Bush goes on TV and says that the intelligence says that they ARE trying to buy from Egypt. Then the guy who did the investigation says "no, that's not what I said..you are twisting the evidence so that you can convince people that we need to go to war and that's wrong.". The next thing you know, that guy's wife is exposed as a CIA agent. Coincidence? Yeah right. So we know that Iraq wasn't trying to buy from Egypt. We know there are no weapons of Mass Destruction. At this point, Iraq is attracting more and more terrorists to Iraq who are setting up camp and organizing a growing number of terrorist attacks against everyone, not just the United States. Not that there weren't terrorists in Iraq before, but the point is that now there are more than ever. Now the president's reason for staying in Iraq is to make sure that it doesn't become a breeding ground for terrorists. Guess what. Too late. Now that it's too late, Bush wants to keep American kids in Iraq to fight against these growing numbers of terrorist until the "War on terror is won". That will never happen. He says he's going to fight the war on terror until there is no longer any terrorists. That will never happen. He says the goal then is to train the Iraqi troops to a level good enough that they can defend themselves against the terrorists, that way we can go ahead and leave Iraq and not have to worry. That will never happen either. The war in Iraq will never have the end that Bush wants. He will have to call it quits and leave eventually without the "job" that he wants done. Even though Iraq was worse for the Iraqi people with Sadam in power, the threat to the American people is much greater today that it was before we invaded Iraq. That will be Bush's legacy. He tried to go in and wipe out terrorism. It didn't work. It will never work. He will never be successful. I wish he could be. I really wish was possible. But it isn't. We have to concentrate on homeland security and dealing with intelligence that we get so that we can stop future attacks before they happen. That has to continue to be successful. We don't have to have thousands upon thousands of American troops in Iraq to do that.
