I do find it rather sick when people question your patriotism just because you merely question some of the errors/mistakes made by your government. "Freedom’sWorthIt" that’s what they did in Soviet Russia- if you questioned your leadership you were shouted down (and much worse). I’m a conservative and string Christian. I voted for Bush and support our soldiers fully. George W is a great man- and I am saddened that his father didn’t his backbone and determination. If he had he would have taken out Saddam in Gulf War 1 – However I don’t have blind and naive allegiance to George W- and that is the way it should be in a democracy (Watergate anyone?). Rumsfeld has screwed up in his micromanagement of the deployment (please leave that to the Generals Rummy). Powell has screwed up by promising Bush a second UN resolution. I own my own company- people who make such mistakes in my company don’t last long. I’m sure Bush has the same principles. We will win the war- but I have a deep fear for the peace. Our recent history at peace keeping doesn’t inspire. Our withdraw in Somalia under Clinton and our withdraw in the Lebanon under Reagan illustrates this. "Freedom’sWorthIt" wrote "they ARE joining us, they ARE applauding us, they ARE ready for their oppressors to be killed and want to help in that way." Cheap shot maybe- but you tell that to the bus full of woman and children we shot up today- killing 7 women and children- YES women and children. I’m no peacenik- I realise that this war is the lesser of two evils (war vs Saddam staying in power). However as a Christian and Conservative I have the RIGHT to question our tactics when avoidable events like this happen. You sir have no RIGHT to question my patriotism.
