That’s the Multi-Billion $ Question
I really try hard to stay out of politics and political events, and feel that it’s too bad that the war in Iraq is so political. Having a son who was there, and who more recently was in Afghanistan, I was able to see 1st hand the effect it had on his mother. I saw her going to the TV every morning to see the latest news. I felt great relief when I saw President Bush declare “Mission Accomplished” so many years, lives and dollars ago.
The vast majority of American people do not want us to be over there killing and being killed for no good reason. Now I read that the people of Iraq want us out of there as well. That leaves a big question in my mind; “Who wants us there anyway?”
I remember clearly the “Old Days” when a very similar scenario played out in Viet Nam. I now know so many wonderful Vietnamese people living in America, so many great Vietnamese restaurants in Honolulu, and my friends go to Viet Nam on vacation. I can’t help but wonder if my grandchildren will be visiting Iraq on vacation someday and wondering why we spent so much time, money and bloodshed over there in the “Old Days”.
