You're right Scott...we need to pull our troops out and leave this political war clearly prosecuted by a President trying to avenge his father and make Cheney's company rich

I hope that once we've pulled out, you're not the first one to feel the effects of a homeland terrorist attack.

Day is done,
gone to the  sun

 from the lakes, from the hills,
from the sky.

All  is  well, safely rest.
God is high.

Thanks  and  praise,
 for our days

'neath the sun, 'neath the stars,
'neath the sky,

As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.
