2. It is up to the American people to demand Congress do their job
Otherwise we are blowing smoke out our ass on here.

3. Why?
We shouldn't be there in the first place. But we are there and we are in the middle of an insurgency and it needs to end in order for anything positive to happen later.

5. Why not? Do you have a kid over there? If you do, you would
be calling your congressperson every day, believe me.

6. Yes. Just like Vietnam.
We stayed for years and eventually it ended on a positive note. Good thing all those soldiers ended up dying for a good cause.

7. The entire situation sucks
But I'm not sure that pulling out and leaving the place to Sadr and his militia makes the world any safer. Maybe it does, but I'd like to hear an argument as to how that is so.

4. I emailed mine to ask...
if this attack is time to cover something Bush doesn't want us to notice. Is anything happening today that the Dems should not let slide just because we are liberating a bunch of Iraq people out of their skins.

8. I just emailed my two Democratic
Senators to ask them to do whatever was in their power to stabilize the situation. I am afraid this entire mess will soon spiral completely out of control. :scared:
