Horrid Thoughts

I was watching on the news about how the new President of Iraq said that we could leave in two years. this is great. He's picked the one issue that all Iraqis could agree upon: get the US out and become self-sufficient...an excellent politician.
Maybe this Iraq thing will turn out ok and the rest of the world will stop sniveling about it.
I don't understand this woman who is protesting the war because her son died. I mean, there is no draft. There was the reasonable expectation that going into the military meant possible combat. He went in with free will. Right? Maybe her grief blinds her to this. I feel badly for her but go home and shut up, ok?
