The latest Iraq War Developments

Well, it is really a catch 22. As you know many people were opposed to the USA going into Iraq but now that they are there the question is what would happen if the troops pull out. On the other hand there seems to be civil war going on anyway so you could argue let the Iraqis sort it out themselves. My heart goes out to all the fine and beautiful young men and women who put their lives on the line every day, who often have young families at home who also suffer the anguish and worry every day and pray their loved one over there is o.k. Then I see the daily violence and the attacks on the US soldiers and I say these people don't want them, they don't agree with our ideas of freedom and democracy so why is the US sacrificing their own people to bring something to this country that people don't want. Or maybe most Iraqis are grateful but for some reason the forces opposed to freedom and democracy are too strong. I think as the opposition to the war grows and grows in your country the troops will be withdrawn whether or not Iraq is ready. That will also be sad, I too feel for the children and innocent people that are blown up each day. I sincerely hope your friends are safe over there and your husband is recovering speedily from the stress he suffered.
