Thank you, Thank you: bala, John Rogitz, David, Ed Johnson and especially Dick Corby. Why do people blame only Bush, when Congress was right in there supporting the war when it was popular and when they thought it would get them votes and would make them look patriotic and like they were doing something after 9-11-01. Why are people so clueless and hopeless as to listen to the media hype and half-truths?

Dick, you said it: American may yet get what it deserves by abandoning our principles of freedom and right and what is good for the country, not just what is good for "me". Yes, we are a melting pot and yes people deserve the right to come here for a better life, but by working for it and for our way of life, not stealing it.

bala, you said it also: we are so blessed in America that it gives people to right to criticize their own freedoms and their own govenment. Wonder how they would like the result of speaking out in these countrys about that said country's govenment. Since they don't like America and the govenment is so terrible why don't they just go ahead and move some place else.

I agree David, too many Armchair Generals, who have no idea what is going on and most of them are on the news interview shows on a regular basis. I pray we listen to the new guys in charge and give them a chance. God help us if we walk away.

Thank you for allowing me to express my right to freedom of speech. Let's keep America Free.

Deborah
