A good read!!

Last night, as my wife attended her class at PCC, I sat down to dinner at a small Korean resturant and thumbed through a Newsweek. This particular issue caught my eye because of the headline "The War in the Words of the Dead". I have to say in all the hub-bub over this controversal war even I have lost sight as to what really matters. There are tens of thousands of troops over there doing their best to secure a country, which in itself is near impossible task, but I won't get into that. The most important thing they are trying to do is come home alive. For the war or against the war doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter here in my living room, it doesn't matter on Capital Hill, and it damn sure doesn't matter in Iraq. What does matter is that each and every single one of those troops deserves the respect and the effort of all Americans to do what is their best interest to bring them home safe.

At some point a line has to be drawn in the sand. A line that signifies what the US is willing to do for the Iraqi people. Whether that line is the benchmark set by Congress to remove combat troops as early as next year, or some other plan that involves some other form of an end to the occupation of Iraq. These troops deserve to come home. If you support the Bill Congress has laid forth then take a stand and call or email your Senators and Congressmen and insist they support it. If you don't offer any insight you can to a just end.

These soldiers fight day in and day out with no goal to work towards, and no light at the end of the tunnel. Their will to fight has to be diminishing, and with it their chance of survival. Every minute in that war zone could the last minute they know. We the people have the power. We the people started drawing that line in the with the midterm elections. Don't let your voice go unheard. Let's find a solution. All partisanship aside.
