To give my opinion about a few points that were raised since my last message- 700 lives to be honest isn't a lot compared to the over 1200 live A DAY that were lost in WWII, a war that we weren't involved with til Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. We have become an on demand country, we as Americans have lost our patients for things- hey people can't even wait 5 minutes for a meal anymore. Its always now now now where are the results, Bush said from the start this could be going on for years. Another problem is the 24 hour news cycle where we see the images over and over, hey if I had my way, I would limit the visual news coverage of the war and just let our guys do their job.

As for this being another Vietnam or Korea, the purposes are the same Communism vs Terrorism but with Terrorism we are fighting ideologs not a particular country. I don't think that there is a lack of a plan in Iraq but it seems like we have our hands tied when it comes to combat. These terrorists can blow up anyone and anything, while we have to be concerned about civilians and the religious element, Another cause from the 24 hour news cycle. We are scared to be looked upon like barbarians. Thats the same problem we had in Vietnan. We can't go in there and clean house the way it should be done.
