19.  Did we not have hope in 2006 when we voted to end this occupation ?
No offense but Obama did not invent hope . People had hope many times over but then there is the reality we have to face and this is this war was a lie and yet it continues on . I'm certain every single person who has a family member or friend in the ME has all the hope they will return in one piece however many have not .

I am not saying hope is a bad thing but it is not an action in itself , it is a word .

Many years ago yes things changed but it was through the people who forced the change and many lost their lifes trying ,civilian people are not so willing today to risk their life to change things these days .

I just don't thing people are aware that hope has never left and it is not something new .
