> Let Bush and Kerry Lead With their Children Into Iraq and Afghanistan

23 July 2004, 21:18

Mr. Hamond is right, if Bush and Kerry think this war is so good and so important, then let their kids go to war—not my kids or your kids. I just got back from Iraq and I can tell you it’s a disaster that most Americans don’t know or understand. I don’t even think our commanders really want to tell the truth about the mess we’ve made over there.

Bush has put us into an impossible mess and I don’t see any way out unless we declare a victory and get out of Iraq. I think the Iraqis can do a better job if we let them hve an election under the UN. If we stay, things will just get worse and more of my buddies and your kids will be killed and injured. If Bush is so hot for this war and if Kerry is so hot to send 40,000 more troops, then we need to fi nd new leadership instead of these fools.
