...celebratory and welcome home parades for our vets returning from Iraq
and, soon, Afghanistan?

No matter how you feel about these wars, the men and women who served
there deserve our thanks and recognition.

Here's a petition:

Your average sane person doesn't want more war on a credit card (Canada
or USA). While I hope EVERY Canadian AND American come home safe and no
more wasted blood of our finest on lost causes, I see no value celebrating.

Trouble with the US administration they still think WW II mentality.
Iraq and Afghanistan was a cultural war, not a military one. Ended up
killing many 1000's of good soldiers and for what?

Like Vietnam, a waste of life abet smaller.

Hey, I was all after going after the Taliban, but know there was lots of
Bush and later Obama propaganda in it. First is Saudi Arabia, right now
it looks like USA changed sides in supporting Sunni Muslims uniting the
middle east or something weird. And itching for another war. And most
of the 9/11 were Saudi, and were do you think 0sama got his money?

Me thinks America forgets who the enemies really are.

Hey, don't squeeze Iran into a big war with IMF extortion and blockading
of trade, they will not be the push overs like Libya and the others.
Just go after the nut ball leaders instead of fueling the hate for America.

Makes me wonder which side 0bama is really on.

Maybe someone should put 0bama and the joint chefs of staff, and all the
ayatollah idiots in a room with knives and let the problem be solved
cheaply.

Best way to kill a snake is to cut off its head, no need to leave a
country in ruins.

You swallered the bait: hook....line....and sinker. Shame on Harry for
putting it out and shame on you for taking it.

China makes products people want.
USA makes war no one wants.
See why USA is going broke? They need war or no economy.

Me, too...whenever the time is appropriate. And, of course, they need
more than a parade once they return. Good benefits will help them
re-integrate into society.
