My Support for the Iraq War?

     Six months ago, my support for the war was unwavering. Now it is wavering. As the American death toll in Iraq exceeds 1000, and as more and more troops and innocents are being killed everyday, I'm beginning to wonder if this was all worth it. I hope so. It might be hard to tell a woman who has lost her son in the war that it was worth it, but I still believe that this world is better off without Saddam Hussein and his regime, and I still believe the people of Iraq will have a better life in the long run.
     What is starting to piss me off is that we are the strongest nation in the world; both militarily and economically. We have the technology to literally see through walls, fire missiles accurate enough to hit a cow from 200 miles away, see everything going on in a 10 ft. room from outer space, and yet we are getting hammered by a bunch of rag-tag insurgents in the middle of the desert. I feel like we are the mighty Empire, and the Ewoks are defeating us with large boulders and logs!
     I realize that part of the problem are the liberal special interest groups that won't allow our military to show its might and enter "holy" cities, much less a mosque. We have the French government doing anything they can to make our mission more difficult, and constant in-fighting among our own government.
     But still, the buck stops with Bush. He is the most powerful man in the world (next to Bill Gates), and needs to show it. So there we are, sitting at the edge of a city trying to negotiate with people who don't even know the meaning of the word, unless they have a bomb strapped to his/her body. We sit back and take it while people (and I hesitate to use the word "people") storm a school and kill little children. We allow terrorists to drive up to a building full of innocent civilians and detonate a car bomb. The entire problem is so deep and tangled that I don't even know how to write about it. We need to stop fighting amongst ourselves at home and decide to do one of two things: go in fast and hard and take out the bad guys in one giant swoop, or withdraw completely and let the world deal with itself and see how they like it without the good ol' US of A to protect them. Goodbye.
