5 1/2 years?
This is what our country has come to. A spineless society who seem to not understand what it means to be at war. Don't get me wrong, I have SERIOUS misgivings with the war but not a single one of them has to do with time. If the right path in the Iraq would take 50 years then I would supoort it wholep-heartedly. War sucks and costs lives but if it is the right thing to do then it should be done right. Saying it has been 5 1/2 years and not everyone there is sitting around a camp fire singing Kumbaya so it is time to give up and do something else is SOOOOO misguided. If you are against the war for other reasons I can understand but don't feed me a line that basically says "Hey, we're a bunch of big pussies who don't have the guts to hang in there when things get tough" That is exactly what I hear when someone says something about how long this war has taken so politics must be a better answer. And I'd bet that's what our enemy would hear too.
