I can honestly say that I have not frequent the politics community in this forum until the last few days. But reading through many posts I get this empty feeling in my stomach at how different opinions don't really matter at the present time.
I lost three very close friends in the WTC terroist plane bombings. During that time I was stuck in NYC, never in harms way, trying to explain to my daughter and son that Daddy would be OK and would see them soon. I travel on business quite frequently and have to lie to both of my children whenever I get on a plane.
I have read how everyone thinks that the US going to IRAQ with this war there will be a number of civilian/innocent people killed. I disagree with this statement whole heartedly. Everyone that dies in this war is an innocent party following the orders of people that in no way shape or form will be hurt by this war. You think BUSH or SADDAM will be anywhere near the actual warzone? Win or lose do you think it will change either of their lifestyles?? Were talking about to WEALTHY powerful indviduals who have decided to play their very own game of RISK. The cost to both contries could be devasting!!
If we are truely going to war with IRAQ to oust Saddam why is are general battle plan to drop a bazillion bombs on them and put 350,000 of our troops at risk? I would think with our military knowledge there would be a more efficient way to accomplish this. That fact that this is are "best plan of attack" does scare the hell out of me.
Meanwhile I have to explain to my two children how there uncle Scott and aunt Suzie may be coming home in a body bag. How they are fighting a war with hopes that nothing like 9/11 will ever happen again. But we all know that all the bombs and ground forces will never stop ANY fanatic from attempting a terroist attack against any country. And by the way, for the ignorant people in here that think all people in the armed forces are GED grads and uneducated please check your studpidity at the door. Both of these indviduals have Masters degrees one in engineering and one in business administration. Both have been offered 6 figure incomes and they have honorable choose to repay the facility that helped them obtain there educations. For you bashers of the armed forces and their education, go back to mommy and daddy who evidently paid for your education.
I find it offensive that so many people here feel they have the proper solution to this impending war. Many are baising there decisions on what has been reported in the media, internet or forums. I hope and pray Bush has better information than that.
Just one parents "scared of what the future holds for my childrens" opinion
