3. we are preventing "civil war"
you see, they want to get out and initiate civil war.. thereby taking over the whole country. (and next the whole mid-east)

no i dont buy it - but lots of people apparently do.
im sure they will chime in...

5. All I know to do at this point....
and right now is to say a prayer for our soldiers who are in this mess, and to ask forgiveness from all the innocent Iraqi's citizens we are about to destroy and pray with all my might that this will be the trigger that will finally awaken the American people up - to take a good look at what America has become under George W. Bush, the worst president ever.

I will hold all of these soldiers' mothers in my hearts, I just cannot imagine.
