21. What is the point of keeping these kids in Iraq? So they will die?

This makes no logical or moral or humanitarian sense.

Let those in Washington who have never seen a day of war go over and live in Iraq like they are asking these kids to do.

Where are lines to be drawn and this is one of those lines. These kids need to come home.

I know it make sense for defense contractors and companies like Halliburton for the kids to continue to be targets, along with using other Iraqi children as target practice.

Tell us Democratic 'leadership' in Washington safely tucked away from the shrapnel those kids are facing. Tell us WHY those kids are losing their futures for you? Who are you to be asking this of them?

If this is about the oil and the imperialism, then Dems don't be shy, just say it.

Please. Just come clean and tell us that there is no difference in parties and that its all just bells and whistles and great store front scenery but there's no difference.

And the vote, and electronic voting, why is this avoided like the bubonic plague? The two most important issues facing the future of our governmental direction and where is our leadership?

NOTHING else will fall into place until we address these two issues.
