kristinn just got back from Iraq with the Gold Star families. He has spoken with our troops and with the Iraqis.

He knows far more than you about what's going on there (as does anyone who has been there).

As for the 'hopelessness' - that is your own personal weakness speaking in buckling to the pressure of the anti-American MSM. There is nothing 'hopeless' about a war that we are winning.

The fact that the terrorists are fighting so hard in Iraq is an indicator of its importance and a call to be even more resolved, not a symbol of its failure and an excuse to run away from it.

All I know is that if I keep reading this kind of trashing of our mission, then I will no longer be at home on FR.

Thanks for the psych analysis, now I don't even have to go see my therapist. :-)

If you don't like bad news or contrary opinions about Iraq, then don't read Iraq threads or Iraq-related news, that would solve the problem entirely.
