The fall of Baghdad was celebrated just four short years ago. What do we have to show for that victory today? More than 3200 American soldiers have died. The Iraqis suffer daily without electricity, plumbing, or drinking water. School attendance is far down compared to pre-Saddam days. Uncounted thousands of Iraqis are either dead or have fled the country. Civil war seems to be well on the way.
How much more must we lose before we recognize this failing course? Americans are dying daily. Billions of dollars are being spent. The time has come to withdraw. We have no more troops to waste. The money being spent in Iraq would be put to better use here at home.
Contact your Senators and Representatives. Tell them the time is now to end the occupation and bring our troops home. Tell them we wish to spend no more money other than that required for withdrawal. Together we can make a difference. Together we can change this failing course.
