[Caution]

We as Americans have the ability to fix this country ourselves, we are the wealthiest nation on earth and there are a lot of wealthy progressives out there. All we need to do is rally behind the right people, and kick these neo-cons out of office and keep them out of office. That alone will fix most of the problems facing us. It's the reason our country has been so successful. When our leaders suck, we get rid of them. The Iraqis don't have this luxury. The whole thing pissed me off so much because I know that we shouldnt have been in there in the first place but now I feel like we are stuck with it. This isn't vietnam regardless of the comparisons that are being drawn to it. This was a war of agression by the United States where we destroyed a country. The solution can not be to destroy a country and then abandon it. What would that say abotu Americans as a people and about our country to the rest of the world?
