dont you hate it when you write a nice post in blog and it crashes

And you dont know if the message went thru or not?! :grr:

I wrote this gem:

"Polls show that a majority of Iraqis want us to leave. Half of them approve of violence against US Troops. It is not hard to imagine Iraqis view us as foreign occupiers. No matter how bad a tyrant leads you, if he is one of you, he will never be as bad as foreign rulers. And as long as there are large #s of our troops there, we are looked upon as foreign rulers.

As several have said, there will be a civil war when we pull out, regardless if we leave now or in 10 years.

What progress do any of you see that we are accomplishing? We have been there 2.5 years. Today another 10 or so soldiers died. There is no progress being made.

If you truly support the troops, you will pull them from the line of fire, you will allow them to come home to see their families, their wives, their children.

As John Kerry testified in 1971, how do you ask a soldier to be the last one to die for a lie?"
