There seems to be some confusion in Washington these days. One point of issue is the war in Iraq. Is it a civil war or not? Lets take a look at it. Who are we fighting? I guess our soldiers are being killed by insurgents, who ever they are, and the Iraqi people are killing each other so I guess our soldiers are at war and the Iraqi's are having a civil war. This means if we pull out they just have a civil war and that's Iraqs problem.
The other issue is torture of terrorist prisioners. What constitutes torture? Physical pain, humiliation, sleep depervation, I guess it depends on the prisioneer. How would you interigate a person who you knew was involved in planning a terrorist attack like 911? Would humiliation be considered torture if it meant saving thousands of lives? How about physical pain? What would be allowed? I can see the presidents point on this one. UNBELIEVABLE, DON'T TELL ANYONE. You have to understand that we are engaged with and enemy who plays by his own rules. I guess I'd have to say I have no sympathy for people who kill American soldiers and civilians. A lot of these people if that's what you call them have been taught since they were born to hate and believe it's ok to kill in the name of their religion and can never be taught any different.What do you do with these people?
With election time around the corner, our politicians are putting votes ahead of the war. T he Republicans are running scared and the Democrats are trying to show that they have answers even though they don't have a clue on what to do with the war.
