At this point I don't give a flying **** who is in the White House this year. Republican or Democrat, this war will continue.

And don't just think I'm anti-American. I care about the lives of the soldiers that this war is costing.

But to say you want to go into a country and help it and then kill thousands of civilians? What the hell is that!?

What's your excuse? You're killing them so that they don't die!? Granted, some civilians will get killed in cross fire and such. I can handle that. But SO MANY civilians have died.

You're not protecting them from terror. You're subjecting them to terror this very moment. Is it a surprise they're fighting back? There was an estimate (which I'll attempt to find) that said that every person in Iraq has lost at least one member of their family in one branch in every direction.

When this war is done, the Iraqis will have nothing but hate for the Americans. This could spawn more terror attacks against America. Therefore, this has to be the most pointless war since Vietnam.

I don't have some sort of political agenda when I talk about civilian death. I'm simply disgusted by the fact that so many civilians are dying. I can't help but think some of the reporters reporting these stories feel the same way.

You keep missing what I'm talking about when I say the BIG PICTURE. You look at civilian casualties that happen now because of the war, and I see all the death and torture that the war is currently preventing that happened on a far larger scale from day to day in Iraq, and all the death and torture that this war will save 10 years in the future.

Please don't accuse those that support the war of not caring about human life, we just see this war as a boon for human life in the long run in Iraq. You are letting yourself drop back into the "conservatives are evil" mindframe again and it strips you of a LOT of credibility.
