Drop by the house - he says

[trystinn]

So President Bush wants our neighbors to drop by and show their support of our troops? GACK - why on earth would I want that? These are the same idiot neighbors who voted for Dubya in the first place, have those insipid yellow ribbons on their gas guzzling SUVs and put US flags on every surface.

At this rate, I'm going to have to put a sign up at the front of the driveway that says: "Support this military family by bringing our troops home!"

I swear if one idiot shows up on my doorstop, I'm siccing the dogs on them!

Thanks, guys :)

I don't mind being a cliche', but I hate being stereotyped!

That said - I'd love to put up a sign that reads:

Dubya's Butcher's Bill

Civillians killed xxxxxx
American Soldiers xxxxx

I'd probably get in HUGE amounts of trouble with our community association, though...maybe I'll fly an Earth flag, as it gets the point across in a way no one can bug you about.

:P

As one of the "troops" I gotta say: "It ain't time to go home yet." It would be strikingly wrong of us to, after having "broken" the country, say "oops, OK, time for us to go now. You have a lovely (if chaotic) country, be sure to do a good job on that constitution. Bye." We should not have come in the first place, but now that we are here we have a collective obligation to leave things at least as nice as we found them.

I guess I've heard too many of the guys (I say "guys" because all our friends who have returned from duty in Iraq are men - no stereotype intended) come home believing there's nothing more we can do for Iraq.

And yes, you're right, we shouldn't have been there in the first place.

My apologies for being so short-sided in the original post - I just want my friends and family home where I can worry over them face to face.

Thank you
Tris

Support our troops.

I agree with we should never have been their in tha first place if history has taught us nothing( and with the bush and crew it hasnt) We should never go try to "free" a country without them making the first steps, it only makes it mor dangerous for our troops and we look like bullys.
But dont worry because If Bush gets his way ya'll will be going into Iran, Syria, North Korea,( who has the millitary capabilities to kick our butt) And lebanon. Dont forget we are still in Afghanistan.
I support the troops, I dont think you folks get paid nearly enough for what you do, nor do you get enough after the facts.
And i swear if I hear another person tell a world war two vet that he is unpatriotic because he doesnt agree with the war I am going to scream.
Sadly the truth about Iraq is we are never going to be able to leave it a healthy place the only reason why it was that way to start with, and that is subjective at best is because Saddam was such a hard ass that people were afraid to act like barbarians.
I know not pc and not really even a liberal view point, belive it or not this comes from former Iraqis, a few Army guys that got to be lucky enough to go in first, and History.
To quote Michner " an age is called dark not because the light fails to shine but because people refuse to see it"
Also if you have the Dubious pleasure of being their. Please stay safe and come back in one piece, you have our support in that.
