I have often spoke of the blow-back affect and wonder what blow-backs await us down the road due to the lies that led to this invasion of Iraq.  When you have killed over 600,000 Iraqis and displaced millions more; one wonders of the blow-back that awaits us all.

 

What I was hoping to hear in tonight’s debate was for one of them state that they would extricate our troops from Iraq and divorce themselves from a failed foreign policy.  I was hoping to hear that one would see diplomacy as our best answer to calming a volatile world.  No such luck!

 

In watching a CNN report of a soldier who came home from Iraq having lost two legs in which he counted himself lucky, one must wonder how many more soldiers will come home just like him.  My faith tells me that the soldiers who have died are with their creator, but it is the ones that come home wounded they will suffer this war for the rest of their lives.  How many more must we put through this meat grinder?
