Do you think that their families are ok with that because it was for a good cause? Perhaps that is why we have failed to be welcomed with open arms and flowers at our feet. And, we removed the country's infrastructure in the process. Something that we have yet to rebuild.

I'm not fooled into thinking attacks only killed "bad people"- are you fooled into thinking WE (as in the US) are the ones entirely responsible for the deaths of innocents there now?

Do you ever bother to look past what is fed you by the media that thrives on BLOOD and DEATH and seen any of the good things? The positive things?

The people in the military who keep going back- voluntarily- because they believe in what thay are doing?
The schools, hospitals and other things being rebuilt?
The progress?

No- all ignored.
