I won't lie, I'm scared for all our men and women serving our country. I'm glad I read your post because I am really on the verge of wanting to take the people and shake them-slap some sense into them. "WHY can't you rise and fight for yourselves?" keeps echoing through my mind each time I turn on the news. Fear-they must be so fearful of showing any loyalty. Then I read that Al Jazire (sp?) is really doing a number on us as they portray our acts od self defense as being against civilians. Our own media isn't reporting the successes, only the hot spots and death count. Never have the political parties been so divided during war. To me, it is the ultimate show of disrespect for our men and women. Not to mention fodder for our enemies. I don't think we, as civilians, ever realized the true nature of terrorism. Because we didn't see it, we didn't believe it. IT wasn't tangible... I just hope that there is an end in sight. I'm so happy for you and so sad for those who remain. If this is our WWlll, then we need to prepare for more sorrow.
Do you think we need more "boots" on the ground as some are saying?
