Reply #9: Iraq unhinges me.

[TayTay]

It is a devastating thing to think about. When I read Riverbend, I just have nothing more to say. My Lord, those poor, poor people. In any war, it seems to me, there are partisans who are actively involved in the fighting. Then there are the vast majority of the people who are in harm's way and who get hurt. I think the majority of the Iraqi people are probably like the majority of the American people: they want to be safe, they want to send their kids to school, they want to have a normal life. These are the innocent bystanders who are suffering the most.

Again, thanks for posting this. It definitely belongs in here. (As you wrote, it's FP and that is completely relevent to this group.)
