Oct. 2004
I am full of admiration for our brave troops fighting this war and I support them 100% but I am also full of rage against the current administration that sent them into, what I feel is an unnecessary war. A war which could have been avoided through diplomacy and joint efforts with our allies. I cry as I watch the carnage on TV carried round the clock. I cry for my grandson, a 21 year old Marine and his desire to defend his country. I cry for our brave young people shedding blood and losing lives. I cry for Iraqi citizens, many children and babies, without food or water and running in fear. I feel that the nation’s tears go unnoticed by the Bush Administration. I believe that our military is for defending our country not invading countries that didn’t strike the first blow. I agree that Saddam is a despot and must go but not at this terrible price, a price that will follow the American people for many years to come.
