Before reading this, understand that I have family of my own in the Middle East and fighting in the war.

It is an Americans responsibility to voice his/her opinion. I understand this. I agree a little bit with this mans letter, though I mainly disagree with it. The people he is talking about aren't using anti-American propaganda, they are just voicing their opinion. They don't want a war that they believe only wastes money in another country and that sacrafices American lives. We are too far into the war to back out now. That doesn't mean that they should just stop protesting. They let the politicians know that their is another voice in the country. The founding fathers knew that this would happen. They wanted this to happen. It shows that in this Republic (we aren't a Democracy or Represetative Democracy because we have many people rule us and we don't directly effect politicians decisions) the majority doesn't always win and that any lunatic can't just effect the country, not even that leftist Micheal Moore. This man sees the war as protecting America. Others see it as a waste of America's time. I believe it was good to get Saddam out but some of the REASONS stated originally to go to war like WMDs that were proven not to exist, are just rediculous.
Sincerely,
One American's Voice

Please thank your brave family members for serving.

The WMD issue has been distorted, but there is no doubt that Saddam used WMDs on over 40 villages, and mass-murdered women and children, was actively seeking long-range missiles specially fitted to distribute chems, had already invaded his neighbors, financed terrorism around the world, murdered children and blamed it on the US, and incited anti-American hatred world-wide by providing talking points (lies) to too eager helpers, like ANSWER and Sean Penn - and providing the platform for Osama Bin Ladin's lie-packed 1998 jihad statement that inflamed the mideast pre-911 and still inspires the young to die - for uninvestigated, unreported, readily verifiable LIE - that IS the Osama Bin Laden 'call to arms' against America. Saddam also terrorized the Iraqi people for over 34 years...and promised them that his cruel sons would continue his legacy.

He was absolutely a weapon of mass destruction, and the war, a just cause.

More facts.
