One of the reasons I am concered is that amoung those neighbors of mine that were supportive of Bush and troops to Iraq just one month ago some have switched over. It is very worrisome, especially to me who has a brother in So Korea right now. He, and I am sure, other servicemen in the MidEast also hear the rumblings that the world and even their folks back home are beginning to switch because of indecision in the White House. Gen Franks said over a month ago, our troops were ready for action. Some have now been sitting in the desert for 4 months bunched up together. I remember if no one else does the tragic withdrawal of our troops from Lebanon years ago after a heinous attack against them while they were bunched up in quarters awaiting action. It was a black mark that embarrassed Reagan and made the situation in the MidEast much worse and it has remained so to this date.

A serious attack on our troops even before action begins would damage this nation irreparably, and if the same kind of action is taken by our government that was taken in the 80's it would result in our troops leaving in humiliation for both these fine young men and our nation.
