Never can tell. My mother, a confirmed liberal and ingestor of only liberal media news, decided after the London bombings that we should stay in Iraq till the job is done.
When she asked me in 2003 how long I thought we were going to be there, I answered then 3-4 years.
But she also gets plied with my news about all the care packages I and our troop support group send to the troops and some news from the front seeps in, so that may have made a tiny bit of difference.
Anyway, there will be a time, God willing, maybe some years in the future, in which their view of the Iraq War may shift with the shifting world assessment of what it accomplished.
Of course, they'll never give GWB any credit...
But liberal rags have to tread softer on Reagan now than they did in the past as history is coming around to honoring what he accomplished. (And we are dealing with what he couldn't do and left undone.)
Thank you for the post. The main problem with my parents is that they have always been democrats, they don't like change, and they get all their news from BBC & PBS. Talk about slanted!
I don't argue with them, because I just don't like to do that. But we are a close family, and I just wish they could see it my way, eventually.
Thanks for all the support you have given to the troops, and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
