It's completely understandable for the U.S. to send troops to Afghanistan because of the "War on Terrorism." Come on, the Taliban lives there. . . However, it makes Noooo sense to have focused so suddenly on Iraq and "free" those people. Firstly, is present-day Iraq safer and better than it was before America came to free it? : :I highly doubt there need be any reason to respond: : Hussein did not present as much danger to the citizens of Iraq as their Anti-Americans have and do.

And why is it that you hear more stories about the "war" in Iraq than in Afghanistan? I mean, come now, this isn't even a "War" and especially not on "terrorism," unless one is to say that all Iraqis and afghans are terrorists. . . Well, might as well say all of the Middle East and Muslims, because I'm not the only one who knows how people : :cough: :amercians: :cough: : can get. Okay, maybe not All, but surely way too many. I mean, seriously, why do you think so many voted for Bush's re-election as "president"?

It feels like the Europeans conquest throughout the world during the early centuries. Man, and their reason was religion, while today, the reason is freedom, freedom of fear and terror. Yet, I can only understand such a thought when the leaders negotiate and converse and even debate about it, for over long periods of weeks until a compromise is formed. Not with threats, troops, guns, and kicking someone out of their land and then causing a mockery of human rights and freedom for over, what how long has it been. . .3 years? After bombing a country and practically allowing the real threat to flee? Now that's rubbish!

Now, something I really want to know is why the U.S. is in Iraq, why its troops went to Iraq, when they think they'll be leaving and what they feel they are forming for the citizens of that country and the image they are making for themselves for the rest of the world to see. As for me? I still see some of the images of fat, greedy, greasy, balding, men in suits screaming for things they want and using up what they need like having a water fight in the desert, when it comes to U.S. politicians. It's a pity that the smart ones really can't ever be in control, because the deceitful, greedy, ones seem to have all the connections.

Not saying that I want a "perfect" world, but I'd like someone powerful in Washinton to change some of the foolish ideas and plans of the Whitehouse. One of the speakers at Lynda's graduation said that on that day, over a thousand commencement speeches were being told, from Big Bird about Sesame Street to George Bush about Washington D.C. Yet, cynical people would say the only difference was because one dealt with a fantasy world of childish play and the other was a television show. I can't deny how brightly I clapped in concurrence.

And then, why half the world isn't "aiding in this war" is because they aren't being feed evasive speeches on what's going on in Iraq and can actually see all that's happening there. Seriously, how many are going to bet that Bush will list all the mishaps that occurred during the battling. . . Battling of testosterone and egos. . . Yeah, the Pentagon and other US politicians won't be so easy to tell the country the Full story as those in Europe will. Man, I think we're screwed and may all die by bombs by some foreign country that's just had enough of all this "War on Terrorism" kaka. . . God save us, and I mean All of us, it's not a prayer for the US or Iraq alone, for once. . .
