It IS a powerful message. It proves that, for the most part, we Americans do mean well. Problem is the day that veteran realises that 'democracy and freedom' does not guarrantee 'pro USA'. Will he feel it was a mistake if the 'newly free' Iraqis fill the streets chanting DEATH to America! and burning our flag minutes after our military leaves? Will he feel that the sacrifices he and his fellow service people made were worth it then? I wonder......
I hope I am wrong about that end result. I really am. But as much as I have loathed George Bush and his administration these last 8 years if a foreign army entered this country to remove him from office by force this liberal would be planting roadside bombs not cheering in the streets. Bush is no Saddam, however how can I expect a typical Iraqi to feel any different?
I offer my sincerest apologies to the veteran in the video and all of his comrades. I am sorry. I knew invading Iraq was a mistake. I knew it before it happened and I failed, as a fellow American, to stop it.
