This pessimism is impossible for me to argue against, since it is a mind set and not a issue.
Too bad.
There are soldiers dying over there to protect your right to be whatever it is that you want to be. Just keep that in mind.

I just don't think this war is a good idea. I am sure we will win, but I think we may well lose in the end. I don't think it was necessary.
I tied some yellow ribbons around the trees in front of my house this evening. A lot of them.
Their significance to me is that I hope our soldiers who are in Iraq will return home safely. That is all.
