Thank you Orville for going to Iraq and reporting on the situation first hand. Thank you for telling us the real situation, as much as anyone can know what is going on.
Robert Simms - I'm only 32 and knew from the start that Gulf War II was a bad idea and based on false pretenses. I was out there protesting in San Francisco with my compatriots.
I don't know how to resolve the mess we're in, but we can't just pull out now and leave the country to descend into Civil War, even though it looks like we're standing on the sidelines as that happens now. Again, I don't know how to proceed, I just know that my heart is heavy with sorrow at this whole darn mess. I hope that democracy and peace can prevail in Iraq, but I fear that won't happen.
