Vote for those who will bring troops home

When is someone going to stop our president (and I use the term with regret) from continuing to justify his decision to invade Iraq and have our troops killed and maimed? His reasoning to fight terrorism and to get other countries to be democratic and law-abiding like America is a joke, but no one is laughing. The past couple of days we have seen terrorism at work right here in Wisconsin and in Lancaster County, Pa., not by a foreign enemy but by some so-called democratic and law-abiding American -- one so evil he terrorized and killed innocent children. Just how can we justify to other countries that America has all the answers when we cannot protect our most precious commodity -- our children and the future of America. It is time for President Bush and all his cronies to get out of office and elect people who (whether Democrat or Republican) will put America and the American people first, who will take care of our mounting problems, who will be up front and tell us the truth and be able to say "I made a mistake." We are still at war and our troops are being killed, even though we cannot see the coffins coming into Dover. We can, however, still see our president strutting around like Emperor Nero while Rome was burning -- only now Bush is the emperor playing the fiddle. What kind of message are we sending to other countries when they read the recent news of what is happening in America? We even had a politician -- Rep. Foley of Florida -- tell us how he was going to protect our children from predators when he may have been one himself. Wake up Americans. Contact your representatives. We want action now to protect our children, our people and to bring our troops home. Unfortunately, we had a loved one killed in Korea and no one should have to suffer the pain of losing a loved one for no good reason. We cringe when we buy something in the good old Ameica then see the tag "Made in Korea." What's next -- "Made in Iraq."
