Today I read the blog Baghdad Burning, at least enough to feel it warranted comment. First Id like to say as an American citizen, that I am truly sorry for all the death this has caused, on both sides. I did not vote for Bush> I know people who did and people who didnt. All the people that didnt vote for Bush are the ones that knew what he was about and didnt agree. After the events of 9-11 our country was scared and angry, we wanted someone to pay for the lives lost preferably Osama Bin Laden who was believed to be the leader of the organisation that attacked us. When Bush couldnt give the american people Bin Laden, he decided to give us Sadam Hussein. While I tend to agree that Hussein was a schlump, I am certain things could have been done a better way, without the loss of so many lives. There is no excuse for the actions taken against innocent people, war is never a good response in my opinion. Now, dont get me wrong Im not some freak that thinks we shouldnt defend ourselves, I have found from personal experience that violence never solves a problem, it only makes it bigger. Once again to the people of Iraq who have lost loved ones in this war, I extend my sympathy, truly you have been wronged.
