[Vision2020] George W Told the Nation

[Donovan Arnold]

Johnny come marching lately. 
   
  I think all the people that were originally for this war, placed our troops in harms way, then later changed their minds after thousands of troops died, and now don't want to not finish the mission, should be sent over there. 
   
   
  I think it immoral to kill all those soldiers, start political instability in the middle east, murder millions of foreign civilians, and then say, "Oh well, never mind!"
   
  Those people that wanted to start and supported the start of this war need to finish it. If our troops withdraw millions of Iraqis, mostly Kurds and Sunnies, are going to die. Iraq will be governed from Iran. Oil will be in the hands of fewer, causing easily $4 to $5 a gallon. Iran will be a single superpower in the middle east, great wealth, and nuclear weapons. 
   
  No, we have to stay now. We should have stayed out and went after UBL. But now we have to suffer like we made others suffer. The backstabbers that supported the war and troops in the beginning but now desert them should be the ones to go over there first. Staying is a bad choice for sure, but leaving is even worse. All the idiots that believed Bush and wanted war in the first place should be the idiots to be sacrificed over there.
   
  Best,
   
  Donovan
