In this day and age of information sharing... Every word written or broadcast can circle the globe in minutes. They HEAR and READ what we think.
JP does have a good point about "getting on board". If the left wants to protect the troops and the right wants to win the war... we just need to stop arguing over it for a small amount of time. Americans can do ANYTHING when we want to.
We could win in Iraq in ONE month. Our parents, grandparents and for some of us great-grandparents sacrificed life and liberty to push back a global menace.... They went hungry and some lost everything. They dropped their plans and their lives to help the world. Are we going to argue like petulant children when confronted with the same type of problem?
Daily, I drive by a monument to that "greatest Generation" and I look at the names that I cannot read as I drive past... And I think of all the soldiers and civilians that stood united for freedom.
Do you think that when all the bodies have been buried and the fires put out and the tyranny destroyed and the dust clears... that YOU will be represented on a similar monument to freedom? Or one to division of greatness?

Doesn't this situation resemble Vietnam to you? Polls show that only 7% of Iraqis
who have an unfavorable opinion of the US military, came to that opinion due to their own personal experiences. You have to realize that they are getting this from somewhere else. You know very well some of them are listening to our own Senators.
