Opposite the house I live they buried someone not too long ago. There were cards and garlands outside the house. The person who died as a soldier in that war, I imagine, believed he was fighting for a decent cause. Many of the troops who go to Iraq aren't killers or murders but believe they are fighting a just war out of necessity. They believe what Bush told them.
The fact I don't agree with the Iraq war doesn't mean the folks serving in Iraq are killers in the same league as Bush. I see them as victims of Bush just as the Iraqis are victims of Bush. Yes, there are some troops who are little more than thugs in uniform but these are a minority, I think. I disagree with the war for reasons I already outlined and I blame the politicians who instigated the war, not the soldiers who face sniper fire every day. Many of these troops believe Saddam attacked the twin towers but the politicians know this is baloney. And many of the troops are beginning to question the war and smell a rat. Quote:
