right on 'Tric. remember, that B*shs "boys" have been trying real hard to get the US in iraq for several years. To B*shs credit, he was pressured to send troops to iraq as soon as he took office(pre-911) and he decided against it--or Advised against it--
'Tric- make sure your feelings dont go unheard. Be sure to send a letter to your Congressman telling him how you feel. There are several websites which help you do this and even one that i came across that has letters written for you that all you have to do is send. we need all the help possible. Getting B*sh out of office will not bring peace to this world but it will be at least a step in the right direction.
O and dont put too much stock in some of the comments made above. You never know what you are going to get on the internet. most of those comments were extemely childesh and unintelligent and i wouldnt be suprised if they really are children typing them
Okay, first, what's up with the astrisk? I can see no point in it whatsoever.
Second, I think that a website that offers prewritten letters to congressmen where "all you have to do is hit send" is a really bad idea. It's just going to be boilerplated garbage, and the senator or whomever won't read it (most won't read electronic corruspondence you'll find, they require physical letters). A person should be writing their own letters that consist of their own thoughts instead of letting some ananymous website do it for them. What a terrible, terrible idea.
Third, I'm getting really sick of all this nonsense about Bush being unable to think for himself. That's just rediculous. He has advisors, all leaders do and for good reason.
And finally, if Bush went to Iraq simply for oil, why the hell does gas cost (on average) $1.97 a gallon? It seems to me that if he went to the country as a conquorer then the US would be enjoying the fruits of that, but we're not, because we (specifically Bush or his "handlers") don't control the oil exports of another country.
Sorry if I sound like an unitelligent child to you.
