I'd like to clear something up before everyone thinks that I'm a reckless, trigger happy, nutcase. I dont like war like everyone else, but I dont think that this war is wrong. I'm for the soldiers, always, since I have a cousin over there. I'm not trying to start a fight, only express my thoughts. I'm confused here. I began thinking the other day, like I do before I usually get in trouble, and I realised somthing profound. Why are we so obsessed with this war? We have troops all over the world that are "protecting" but we dotn say a thing about them. What are our boys doing in Korea? Huh? Well, simple Anna, they protect the South Koreans from the North Koreans... From them invading them. I also know, that the border between those two countries is so up tight and tense because a war that could break out at any second. We dont even have enough men there to make a defence if there was a war. But... We dont say anything about them. Tell me again what we are doing in Iraq... We are protecting the civilian, or trying to, from the terroists. Geeze. These two sound very alike. Though, our men are dying in one place and not the other, there are conflicts on the Korean border all the time. We just aren't told about that.

Our boys, soldiers, are the only soldiers in the world that would put their lives on the line for some other country. Why is that? Becuase they are the best.

Does anyone remember the fear we all felt on 9-11? Everyone felt fear. We felt fear one day, then anger the next. The people in Iraq, before we went in, felt that fear every day. If we leave, that fear will never be free. They will always fear. ON 9-11, thousands lost loved ones. Everyday in Iraq, thousands to millions have lost loved ones becuase terrorists killed them becuase they had an opinion. We say, "But those poor starving children in Africa!" Children in Iraq starved! The Curds were starved, as well as gased. What's the difference? We went into Africa... what was it? Somolia? We went in to help those poor starving children. What happened? Black Hawk down, that's what happened. So, when you hear some one saying, "Oh! Poor starving..." Just remember that we ARE out there to save and help, just no one ever seems to look at it like that. Instead, our own people call ourselves murders and invaders.

God Bless our men out there, where ever they may be! They are Heroes. Everyone of them.
