"As Americans, we are blessed by that sacrifice and support, which keeps us safe
and keeps us strong.
As patriots, we call on our government to support our
troops in the most important way it can - by ending this war and bringing them
home.
This Memorial Day weekend, we will all take responsibility for the
country we love and the men and women who protect it. We will volunteer, we will
pray, and we will speak out. Each of us has a responsibility to act, a duty to
our troops and to each other. Support the troops. End the war.As Americans, we

I am unhappy about the way this war is often framed as those on the one side that want the war to end, and those on the other side that want to fight it forever. President Bush and the republicans have more to gain than anyone else is seeing this war come to an end. It was a major factor in driving the republicans from power, so they too want the war to be something behind them.

The question is how do we end this war, and how do we leave the country when we leave. There are those who want us to become involved in Darfur, while also wanting us to pull out of Iraq. Would they be happy if we took all our Iraq troops and put them in Darfur? I think that instead they would complain about the mess we left Iraq in and that we should have done more to fix it - while talking about an illegal occupation of Sudan.

There are those people in the world that will always hate whatever America does. There are those people in the world that have no historical memory and think that the past is forgotten. I have not forgotten the protests and the conspiracy theories surrounding our involvement in Kosovo, a war that America gained nothing from.
