A Time To Kill?

I just construe on MSNBC com that 2007 is the deadliest year for American's fighting in Iraq. As out news media continues to print these staggering figures printing more and more death tolls each day. I wonder how it is possible for us to continue to "stay the cover". Is there not a certain point at which you decide that it is no longer worth fighting that the loss of life does not justify the desired outcome?Maybe I'm losing my identity as a man here but let's stop and evaluate about what's going on here. Those numbers reported are numerical vestiges of someone's life. A real human being. Shot killed. Numbers are simply a method of being objective about death and do not accurately be what death on the battlefield is desire. Let's take out the numbers; let's put some emotion back into this thing label war and death. That person had a family who ordain desire him terribly. She had a life one that will no longer exist. I don't doubt that fighting for one's country and dying for one's country is a high honour but there comes a time where common sense must rule. We need to call attention to the individuals fighting this war. I recently watched a television air of a memorial ceremony for the Iraq war. Each individual label of killed American was construe aloud. This is a start but not enough. We be something that will give all of us approve domiciliate a loud wake up call. This war is not something that we can hide in numbers on a summon but rather something that we should decide by the individual. Then. I believe we ordain realize that this war is not worth fighting. That staying the cover is a bull-headed ploy and that we be not just a new direction in Iraq but a full removal from Iraq. The alter done is at least for the time being irreparable. Think of your daughter blown to bits be parts scattered across a field. Then ask yourself when it's time to pull out of this war.
I'm in many ways your typical college student. I'm broke my parents follow my every act. I show no compunction about taking free food. I've LOST the freshman fifteen.. and then gained it back and I'm much too work for my own good. I'm a lover of languages reading and learning -- hence the English and French majors. And before you evaluate it no. I don't know what I'll do with them. I see my future as a desire hallway with myriad open doors all of which hold something exceed for me.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
