Well, I just want to say I hope your troops return safe and sound and that no civilians die. I don’t agree with the war, but good luck, and safe return home.

Anyone here follow the "blogs of war" only on the internet can an Iraqi and Israeli and a Jew from New York e-mail each other stuff and debate the merits of American bombing in near real time.
It's surreal.

But as Americanss were involved, it was obviously our fault, and obviously intentional.

ok since this is the first day since last weekend I've had my computer, and I really dont feel like reading all of these pages right now, I'm just gonna jump right in
I totally do not believe in this war. Yeah, Saddam is a horrible horrible person, yeah the Iraqi people should not have to live with him, no one should, but there could be other ways than war. Right? I mean honestly, a 6 year old child on the news put it in the best way I can think "Why cant they fix it without fighting?" I do support the troops. They dont exactly have a say in whether or not we go to war. I dont agree with Bush however. It really really is scaring me though. Has anyone been watching the MTV news? Like yesterday? I saw this thing they had from when Gideon went to Kuwait to see the troops. The commaders said they were about twice the age of most of the guys out there (which means the commanders were around 40ish) and they had already been in Desert Storm. You guys have probably already heard me worry about my dad, but I'm gonna do it again I dont know what I would do if he got called. I'm praying he wont, but he hasnt called me in about a month, so I'm starting to slightly worry. Living half way across the country from your dad definately has its drawbacks. I'm praying this is a short and quick war, and very very few people are hurt or killed. One thing that seriously annoys me is Bush continually using 9/11 as some sort of a shield. Maybe if someone has heard him talk, they can help me out here, I dont exactly know how to word it, but its buggin me! lol Ok I'm done now! (realize this is the *first* post I've made in over a week! *sigh* that feels soooo much better!!!)

Well, the innocent Iraqis aren't the target of the war. It's the corrupt leaders that they're after.

*sigh* I wish people would view the world with a form of realism and take the covers off their eyes...

Again I don't see many people complaining about the attrocities of Hussein. It seems the deaths of thousands by him are fine since one has to see it.
