What is your opinion of the conflict with Iraq? Thanks. Fred Dear Fred Yes Fred, I served in the US Navy in the security area during the Viet Nam war. My brother was a combat veteran of the Cambodian offensive. War is an awful thing regardless of which end of the conflict you’re on. I do feel that the Iraqi people suffered much more than the rest of the world could know so I am very glad the president had the courage to act. History is the ultimate test of what is right and wrong. I find many of the most opinionated people are the most poorly informed. The Iraqi leadership boiled people in acid and ground people alive like hamburger so for one I could care less whether they find any weapons of mass destruction. I say a deed well done for the sake of civilization. The Pope is being the Pope, but the French and Russians have much to hide about their dealings with Iraq, not to mention Syria and Iran. The Turks are also lusting after that northern oil field which may be why they did not want our troops in their country. That part of the world is froth with tribal conflict and an attitude about life the average westerner cannot comprehend. It will be a complex area for our troops. I do feel we did what we must. Many will not agree. Then again it doesn’t make them correct does it. Despite the whining, we have always left a place better than we found it so the blood for oil whine is a political ploy. The time for street protest was before the war. Not now. So what is this I read about an Al Qeida camp on the Iraq northern border? Hmmm … Al Dear Boomer Al I have a nineteen year old son. Do you think the USA will start up the draft again and do you think they should? Concerned Mother Dear Mom I hope so. It is normal for parents, not just mothers to be concerned for the welfare of their children. I was concerned for my kids. I do feel however that military service is an excellent place for all young men and women to spend a couple of years serving the country that gives them an opportunity to live the affluent and full potential life they live. I can think of no maturing experience better than thirteen weeks of boot camp and a couple of years taking orders to develop a healthy respect for authority that is sadly lacking in many of our youth today. The military is also an excellent place for young people to advance their education or learn a skill that could help them earn a living after service. It also makes a fine career for some. My opinion and I’m free to have it because great Americans died so I could. I know it goes both ways. God Bless our troops and our President. They need our prayers. Al PS; Please call or write your Congressman about fully funding the VA so veterans can get the medical care they are entitled to. Need to buy or sell a house ... check this out! _.·´¯)What's up with this?(¯`·._ As usual our military is performing with precision and honor. Being a veteran I remember the disappointment we felt as we viewed the young students violently protesting in the streets. It gives more aid and comfort to the enemy than it changes policy. Such protests encourages the enemy and prolongs the conflict. Why is it that every time we get into a fight we play by the rules while our enemy seems to do any type of horror they choose without so much as a public outcry from the rest of the world. I commented in the past that the real reasons for the trouble from the Russians and French and others. Now we are seeing it ... The russians are actually in Bagdad as we speak training Iraqi soldiers on how to use the weapons they sold them. The French, as we already know, sold the Iraqis solid rocket fuel. So these are friends are they? So what's up with the actors? Think about it ... movies are an international business. It's always about the money folks. Actors think they speak for the weak. Maybe they could learn to appreciate the freedom that allowed them to get wealthy doing their play thing. It's time to shut down Iraqi state TV. Just my opinion. Don't like it? So tell me off at ...

(¯`·._ "Life ... It tends to respond to our outlook, to shape itself to meet our expectations." Richard M DeVos I am surely tired of those who constantly describe our country in negative terms. I hear complaints but not many solutions to anything. Instead of what is bad, how about what is right for a change. Have fun. It's later than you think.
