This war is a farce. I feel so bad for the families that lost loved ones for absolutely nothing. They might has well have died in a DWI. It’s a harsh thing to say, but it’s true. The longer Congress sits on their hands and does nothing, the more people will die. I guess the Democrats are so bereft of conscience that they will wait until the Republicans that started this war, lead us out of it. That is a sad commentary on this Congress. The American People should not be ashamed however, we did not ask for this war, and when the people saw that it was time to stop it, most of them realized it. We have known for a long time now that this war was wrong. Trying to persuade our so-called “leaders” however has been a different story. If we have learned one thing from this war, it is that we need to put our government back on track and make it responsible to the people.
We have a long way to go to put things right again. I only hope that Americans don’t lose the focus that many have now when this horrid war is finally over. The problems that we Americans face are more than just this war in Iraq and Bush and his cronies. This is about an entire government that is unresponsive to the people it represents. It seems as if people elected to national office are marching to the beat of their own drummer, instead of marching to the beat of the people.
