Look

I've had something on my mind for the past couple weeks.

O.K. so I keep reading articles and other blogs about the "war" in Iraq. Everyone saying that its pointless to be over there still and that we need to pull the troops out immediately. Saying that all we're doing is wasting lives ruining our economy and fighting a battle that isn't rightly ours to win.

First off this isn't a war. It was a war until we brought down Saddam's regime. Then it became a fight to give the Iraqi people the freedom they deserve and to rebuild what we had destroyed. We destroyed their homes and businesses. We did it and that makes it our responsibility to help rebuild and to keep them safe until such time as they are strong enough to do it on their own.

I don't agree with the reasons we invaded but we're there now and we cannot leave until we fixed what we destroyed. What would pulling out now show the rest of the hostile countries about America's devotion to any cause? It would show us to be weak. Hell just the oil prices going up has put out country in a panic. The bottom line is if we pull out before we have finished out job we will appear weak.

Our economy was doomed from the beginning. Our dependency on foreign oil is the cause. That and the fact that we are so far behind in our research on alternative energy sources. Oil is not a renewable resource. What are we going to do when its all gone? What then? You think gas prices are high now. Just wait. The day will come when we have no oil.

Think about it
