Huh

(Yes this is mostly aimed at one person. Yes this is written in frustration.)
Well it appears I irked someone cause I disagree with them over politics (or maybe just cause I don't hate Bush beyond all things). For the record I didn't bring it up, you did. You ended the conversation not me. I don't take personal offense when people disagree with me, if I did I would hate half the people on my floor. And if you don't like my news sources could you please find my 4500+ better ones so I can be better informed? It's not like I don't keep track of the news. In the end it is pointless tho, on most issues people's minds won't be changed. I wasn't trying to change anyone's I was stating facts that as far as I can discern are true. If you don't like my sources then by and far please find me other sources which disagree! I don't like the situation in Iraq any better then anyone else in the US. Bush screwed up and didn't have a plan to get out. He probably even had questionable reasons for going into Iraq. The point is we're there and if we run away now and millions of Sunni Iraqis die, there on our hands and whoever pulls those troops out of there hands. The fact that we elected Bush (ignoring the whole election debate which is null and void, however you want to see it, he is the legitmate ruler of the US else the entire world hates someone with no real power) means that what happens there reflects us. So do we run away from our problems? We could be like the UN and evacuate at the first sign of danger. Better yet we could close our borders and hope the world quits bothering us. Or we could a)suck it up b)elect someone who can solve this in a way that all parties (including those in other countries) are happy (to the best of our abilities, we can never make the whole world like us, in fact we hate ourselves quite a bit).
Yea, I'm angry. I didn't mean to make you angry but I feel like I am responsible somewhat because I was for the war and now I think we owe it to the Iraqi people to make things better even if it means we as a people make sacrifices. If that means that they reinstate the draft and I am drafted so be it. As a citizen I should be ready to die for my country (thankfully being scared silly while serving is allowed).

That's my rant. It's not well sorted, I am frustrated cause I didn't mean to get anybody angry or upset or insult anyone. I've told everyone that I am not the greatest person in social situations and now you see why. I'll ask for your forgiveness and say I'm sorry but there is little more I can do.
