It is not so black and white and on the other side it is. Here's the deal. This whole fiasco comes down to character. It could have been the administrations character or lack thereof that got us into this situation. It could have been the fault of our congress, or it could have been the fault of the American people who is 2004 re-elected President Bush, not elected but re-elected. The wish washy character that is developing and will inevitably be our downfall as it was Rome is the real issue. Our government represents us and if there is wishy washyness going on there, it is because it is a mirroring of our society. Do our government officials perhaps forward special interest group agenda, and is there developing corruption? Well hell yeah there is, but where did these people come from?
My point is this, the real problem is not iraq. The real problem is degredation of character among our American population. We are like osmosis. We go to the path of least resistence. Look at the divorce rate. So in actuality, we have a bigger problem, it is much easier to change government officials than it is instill character.
