Why did this kid have to die? His life had barely begun.
I love it how the right wings now use the term "The Cost of Freedom". Was this kid's death worth the pain his family suffers? Did him giving his life completely trusting our Commander in Chief's assessment that it's a just cause improve our safety and level of freedom? |
The irony is the longer the US stays in Iraq the less safe the US becomes.
They are stirring up a hornets nest and ensuring anti-US sentiment remains there and throughout the middle east for decades to come. They are also providing the jihadists with an excuse and a motivation to attack US interests.
This war in Iraq is, without a doubt, the biggest US foreign policy blunder since the Vietnam war.
