As if four more years of Bush wasn't already bad enough, it looks like the U.S. Army is preparing for the possibility of four more years of occupation in Iraq.
Am I the only one who thinks that there is a greater possiblity of achieving peace in the region if the U.S. backs out, or leaves only peacekeeping/humanitarian support in the area?
Sure, plenty of people will say I'm wrong, but I doubt there would have been such a high rate of insurgency if the U.S. troops hadn't been there.
I feel sorry for the troops that will have to continue to deploy to this battle-worn region. I can't help but wonder what the future will hold for all these men and women, 30 years down the road. I hope they get lots of psychiatric help.

As the father of a 15 year old who wants nothing more than to join military service, I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I support and respect his desire to serve. I just hope that if he fights, it's not in a war where so many of his fellow citizens and soldiers have been misled.
Thats the problem with military service in the U.S. these days - you aren't asked to fight the "good" fight, you are asked to fight the war that promotes whatever the President wants. It is too sad.
