Once we start seeing dead american soldiers on tv maybe some people will regret the push for war.

As someone with friends being sent over seas, let me say this: they understand the sacrifice. I do not want to lose any American, but this is what they signed up for.
We have issued ultimatum after ultimatum to Iraq, and the argument I keep hearing, is "Can't we just give them a deadline?" HELLO! We have. For 12 years. In 48 hours, the ultimatums finally stop. The news special tonight was called "When Diplomacy Fails". I think that is very accurate. I stand behind my President. Whether or not any particular person voted for him, he is our President. I personally feel that he did not make this decision lightly or alone. At some point, there needs to be an end to talk and a beginning to action. As he said, Iraq has not disarmed, and they will not disarm. Do I want war? Am I pushing for war? No! Chances are we all know someone who will be IN this war. Who actually wants their loved ones to go and die? Or even to leave? But, I thank God every day that there are men and women who are strong enough in their beliefs in freedom that they are willing to sacrifice themselves.
We're going to war. Neither protesting it or ignoring it will stop it and bring about the result of peace. If you believe in God, now would be the time to start praying.
