And they risk far more than we do. We can "cut and run" if we want to. They, on the other hand cannot. We don't have to worry about our families getting killed because of our membership in the military. They on the other hand do not have that luxury. And despite the risks, and the high casulaties, the Iraqis keep comming back for more. If a 100 die in combat 200 want to take their place. Brave men, deserve a fighting chance to win. Cowards like Murtha and his butt buddy Hairy Weed deserve only disdain. Iraqis are bearing the brunt of the casualties in this war. And they risk far more than we do.

A feeling that hit me while I was watching it was a sense of pride in the display of the Iraqi flag. It is beginning to have the connotation of freedom instead of oppression at the hands of a dictator. We are creating an ally in the region. God bless our US forces and God bless the Iraqis I enjoyed the slideshow, I like the song even though it always struck me as an 60’s anti-war song.

It's been my experience that using an anti-war song or artist as background to a pro-military or WoT video has the effect of unhinging the tinfoil brigade faster than anything I've yet seen. It's such a delicious irony! BTW the song did become associated with the anti-Vietnam protest movement but wasn’t actually written for it.

My comment was aimed at this regard. Even Ted Kennedy slipped up and called Iraq 'Vietnam' on international TV. I all about getting the left unhinged as the next person. I'm just annoyed at the constant barrage of comparisons between two different conflicts. Maybe, we should just start calling Iraq our Vietnam that we win just to unhinge them more. Perhaps we should ebrace this war as our second Vietnam and then win it to shove i down their throats. I might not be ready for that by maybe soon. Egfrow,
