What's at stake.

So, a small but vocal minority on this board have stated that if the candidate who they do not support wins the nomination, they will not vote democrat. This is incredibly disturbing, in my opinion.

The U.S. has been in Iraq for five years. Over 4000 U.S. troops have died, as well as countless Iraqi civillians. If a Republican president is elected, how much longer will the war last?

I have a friend who is 16 years old. She is a JROTC student at her high school and intends to enlist in the millitary after she graduates. Two and a half years from now, will we still be in Iraq? I worry all the time that after she graduates, she will have to risk her life in this unjust war. And there are so many others like her. And so many young men and women who have died already. When will this end?

Let's stop the infighting and attacks. Let's unite for what's really important - the future of our youth.

2. Attempting to kick one last time.

I think it could give this place some perspective.
