With the Republicans continuing their support of George W. Bush's Oil War of Choice in Iraq, there are currently 162,000 American Patriots away from home. That means that U. S. Fathers and Mothers are separated from their children. It also means that children in the United States are being raised by only one parent while the other is serving in a situation that could have been resolved had clear heads prevailed. These children in the United States are Patriots as well.
Hopefully, one day the Republicans (who are supporting George W. Bush's Oil War of Choice in Iraq) will realize their mistake. And that, these same Republicans will vote to Bring Our Troops Home Now. Only this action, will discontinue the fact that these Republicans are tearing American families apart and putting them at a huge disadvantage. Until then, the very fabric of the United States will continue to be torn.
The next time a politician comments about family values, one should define clearly whether the politician is a Republican or a Democrat. And, whether the politican is in support of or against the invasion of Iraq and the United States' ongoing participation in another country's Civil War.
