It's times like these I wonder if the President has too much power, being the sole person who controls the army (in essence). He can make a bad decision, and we can't really stop him without a lot of trouble.
I can't help but think no matter what we do in Iraq, we will never achieve what we went there to do. It was a bad idea from the start (not only badly executed, in my opinion), and look where it's gotten us. Just because Saddam was a bad dictator doesn't give us the right to go into Iraq and mess things up like we have. Have we invaded every other country with an evil leader? No. We haven't, and for good reason.
^^I've thought about that myself. It kills me that Bush can just decide to send even more troops into Iraq. I do realize that at this point, there's not much else we can do (i mean we can't just up and leave anymore), but it doesn't make it any easier. I've already lost my brother and a close friend to this war. Now more of my friends have been shipped overseas? It's not something I'm equipped to handle
