I am too, Phil. We're not perfect but we're not monsters either. And certainly we aren't the worst offender at looking after our economic interests in this matter.
Thank you for your comments about the American POW. I think that Iraqi man is the true hero in all of this. He could have just minded his business, but he made the pain of another human being his business.
At least I think this time, the returning troops won't have to live through what returning Vietnam troops had to face. It appears that even most of those who are anti-war still support our troops.
My son's class wrote letters to the troops. His teacher's report says that the sentiments ranged from "Thank you for protecting us." to "I want a rabbit." My son reports that his was "I hope you are safe." (kindergarten)
Take care, Phil.
