I guess the Iraq and U.S. governments think if they ignore the problem, it will go away.

[font=Times New Roman] [/font] I say we need to start removing our troops before we end up defending Iraq from the Turkish attack.

Hi willbevoter. Welcome.

They may end up caught in the middle of two countries. The Iranians are doing the same thing as Turkey on their border, shelling remote villages.

[font=Courier New] [/font] I think that they should remove our troops quicker because I have loved ones who were sent to Iraq. One of them is lucky to be alive. If another war breaks out I don't want us to have any part of it.

I hear ya. I have a son who did a tour there and 2 more sons who might join up. Nobody wants them out of there more than I do.

[font=Courier New] [/font] Everyone I know says that to but even though we have a voice it doesn't mean it's always heard.

Our voice is being ignored and if it wasn't for the presidential veto we might be closer to a timetable for withdrawl. As it stands it's stay the course until we get a new president. Without the votes to override a veto nothing will change. IMO.

[font=Times New Roman] [/font] I am waiting paitiently untill my birthday next year because it is within the time that we will be voting.I just want Bush out like many Americans have been calling for more than a year.

It's good you are going to get involved as soon as you able to vote. The more people who get involved the sooner we will see change.

[font=Times New Roman] [/font] THank you very much and I agree with you.

[font=Times New Roman] [/font] Many of my freinds also wish to vote so they can make a difference.

You are the second young person here who has shown a desire to be more involve3d in the system. That is very encouraging and I wish you luck with your polkitical endeavors.
