OKAY! FIRST...moe.ron, I know that you tend to be an instigator, and you have succeeded. While I care little for your opinions on why the war is happening, I would like to thank you for not coming right out and calling my husband a Bush-worshipping-baby-killer.
As someone who has seen Iraqi people FIRST-HAND, his enthusiasm and belief in what he is doing in Baghdad grows everyday. However, you won't see that on television or read it in your newspaper. Father's come into the streets and beg the soldiers to marry their daughters to get them away from a life of degradation, abuse, and nothingness! (This was the same in Afghanistan while my nephew was there.) Men volunteer to join the US Army, women bring meals, and children ask to do the soldier's laundry. But, maybe you're right...perhaps they were content in their lifestyle!
I have enjoyed reading this thread mostly because of the historical value. I enjoy history, however, war involved history tends to bore me. So, thank you for the education.
To others, and you know who you are, you're support for our soldiers AND what they are doing is greatly appreciated!
