Whether or not the war was legally advanced or not will always be questioned. Was Desert Storm a legally declared war and is this just a continuance of a conflict predicated on the notion that Saddam didn't live up to the cease fire will always be questioned. And since war is upon us why waste the time wondering.

I do not support the President or most of his cabinet. I don't support the broad notion of this war. I think this is what Bush could fix since he couldn't fix the economy. That Saddam and his sons don't deserve the air they breathe is just good luck for Bush in my opinion. The world will be less a few tyrants and that will be a net gain for all. The dis service to all is from the many talking heads who said this will be a cake walk.

I don't doubt our winning but remember when The GAR said we'll roll through them southern boys and send them packing and headed of to BUll Run with picnic lunches.

Don't for get that the US Army thought that Cba and the Phillipines were just a bunch of peons when they remembered the Maine. The US weapon of choice at the beginning of the war was the 45-70 Trap Door Springfield single shot Allyn conversion rifle and the the Peons were using bolt action repeaters from Mannlicher Arms. It was sometime before the infantry got their 30-40 Kraigs and won the war.

The same was said of WWI and WWII and Korea and Viet Nam. Wars marketed by a government military machine to families and kids.
Russia learned this well too in Afghanistan which is a similar climate and geography just a few miles away from Iraq.

The US is not a tyranny tho' some will disagree and that is their right. We will rebuild what we wreck and it will be better built than it was. But the cost will be higher than we were sold and told to believe.

I won't support this President or his policy here but I will support my boys friend Justin and Trevor and I'll send them letters wishing them well. I'll support my drummers son Jared as he watches the border in Kuwait. And when they all come home well and whole I'll have a picnic for them and thank them for their duty to service as they saw it. But I won't support this President.
