THEY WERE JUST KIDS....THIS WAR MAKES ME SICK TO THE VERY CORE OF MY HEART. SO MANY BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN KIDS KILLED FOR WHAT? SO THAT OIL COMPANIES WILL KEEP MAKING RECORD PROFITS?

It's been a difficult few days.
My answer to your comment may tend to brighten things up, but actually, not so much.
Why the war?

APRES LE GUERRE

Oddly, I really mean every word of this article. I'm naming it in recollection of Paul Simon, who wrote a song about the French Artist, Rene Magritte, and his wife, Georgette, and their dog, "Apres Le guerre", that's, "after the war".

Some mornings, the whole thing just comes together.
Since long before the war began, many people have said it was "for oil". But, I just couldn't see it. Now, I see it!
When the Arab Nations razed the World trade center, it was a protest against the U.S. and Her allies in their refusal to negotiate in good faith over oil prices. They felt they were being gouged. And they felt we (the allies) had trespassed onto their property when we built up Kuwait, which we did for the oil.
The Arab/Muslim Nations are sometimes slow to react; like several generations. That's why they attacked the World Trade center. I just happen to know that.

I failed to understand, when Bush wreaked havoc in Iraq, he didn't do it for Halliburton. That was incidental. He just threw a little business their way. What are friends for?
As to the loss of life, on both sides, well sometimes a president has to make hard decisions. It a thankless job. Someone has to do it.
Here it is! Now, when we negotiate with Iraq, we are negotiating with our pals. people we can talk to. The ones we put there. No more painful haggling, no more histrionics; smooth and easy. One thing about George, he HATES to negotiate!

OK, the prices won't change much. We have to be fair and equittable after all. Life goes on. But at least we won't have to endure that Arab mis-demeanor.

Mission accomplished!

Tell that to the families of the two kids who were barbarically murdered. I know they were soldiers but soldiers should be protecting us and not sent for years to some barbarian land in which we REALLY didn't need to stick our nose in their business. I understoon Sr.'s attack on Iaq...Iraq invaded Kuwait although I am not too sure that was any of our business either. Sometimes I think if we used our military to shore up our borders instead of policing the entire world we would be a whole lot better off.

Cruel and brutal but why are these men in Iraq, what are they doing there...Are they protecting American citizens....Sorry for the family who lost young men due to the great decision makers....
