Doesn't sound fair, does it? Rational people tried to tell him not to invade but his heart was set on it. He was gonna get Saddam, no matter what. And now we got a big ol' mess on our hands. They could argue that someone had to pay for 9/11 so why not Saddam? However, we are being isolated before the world and our nation is more divided than ever. But now, we are there and we have to "support our troops". Of course, that means we have to give them $87 billion more dollars. There is no other way to support our troops. Mo' money! Mo' money! Mo' money!

Everything is now taking a backseat to our war in Iraq. The future political fortunes of George Bush are riding on it. If you don't agree with him, you are supporting the enemy and are not patriotic. The liberal media is failing us by not telling us about all the "good things" that are happening in Iraq. Yeah, sure! As if no schools or hospitals were open before George invaded?? And of course, we are gonna get a new "democracy" in Iraq and the world will live happily ever after...

1. We raped her, now we must stay with her to help her "get over it."
Would you want a rapist to remain with his victim to "help her" get over the rape? That's what we are really saying when we say "we broke it, we fix it!" about Iraq.

2. Good Point!
But the said truth is she would get raped even more by others if we left. Also, nobody likes to clean up after another person has been in the bathroom.

If we leave things would be worse. I don't know who is going to come in and help.
