Several months has gone since Bush declared that the war in Iraq was over on (May 1).
But more US service members have died after the war was "over" than during the war.
And it's still no sign of Saddam, or any weapons of mass destruction.
Between March 20 and May 1, 138 US service members died, 116 in combat.
But from May 1 until today 139 has died (the last one today, from 130th Engineer Brigade), 61 in hostile actions.... (Numbers from cnn.com)
And we are seeing an increase in hostile actions against other nations too.
I'm just curious if you think it was worth it to attack Iraq at that point?
Is the world a better place now, is this a cause worth dying for???
My personal opinion is that the weapons inspectors should have been given more time....
Do not misunderstand me in this post, as a soldier who has been abroad several times I have the deepest respect for those who served, and those who are serving in Iraq now!
I just think that the trigger-happy politicians who decided to attack Iraq should have been sent down to the frontlines themselves to see what it’s all about!! :twisted:
I know I would have been seriously pi..ed-off if me or a good friend was wounded, or even worse, killed, for some fake weapons reports and some hasty decisions…
....Phew.... Just had to let some steam out here, I tend to get wery upset everytime I watch the news and see that more good men has been killed or wounded down there...... :evil:
