Questions? Lots.........
When was the last time you paid attention to the body count in Iraq? As of this morning, 23 of our troops have died since Saturday. That's since Saturday. Now I'm no slouch at searching the internet, but I can assure you, you will be hard put to find a total since the beginning of action. If you know, please share, because I could find no official total.
What's happened to our media? Yeah, they still make a big deal about the innocent Iraqis we kill, but where are the figures on our troops? I remember watching Cronkite as a kid and seeing neat little bar graphs of fatalities during the Viet Nam "conflict"..... Where are those now? Where are the people that were protesting when this thing began? Has the friggin' Bush administration so intimidated the media and everyone else that there can be no dissension?
What's going to happen? One can't help but draw parallels between Iraq and Viet Nam, and it wasn't settled in one, or even two administrations. Even if Kerry wins, and God knows he must, how will he be able to get us out? What really turns my stomach is that I live in Texas and most of my fellow Texans will vote for Bush because he's a Texan and he kicked ass.... HUH????? It's scary.
One of my biggest disappointments is the youth of our country. Aren't young people supposed to be idealistic? I can see how it fades as you age, but shouldn't our kids care? Are they all so caught up in aquiring the latest whatsit and living vicariously through reality crap tv that they don't notice or care what is happening to their country? Or are they just totally disillusioned, believieng that nothing they do matters?
If there ever was a time to sing God Bless America, this is it.
