Five years ago today bombs began to fall on distant cities and as their citizens hid in closets protecting and holding their families close, hope swelled within their chests that soon, freedom would reign again in the nation of Iraq. Imagine, to live without fear, without secret police, without torturous prisons, and with something they could believe in again.
But five years later, with poor planning, poor leadership, and a war not based on facts and hope, we are stuck in these distant cities. 3,992 American soldiers dead on the fronts lines. 3,992 families left with gaping holes in their hearts.
We have accomplished almost nothing, we have provided targets for our enemas, more reasons for the world to hate us more, it has divided us as Americans, and weakened us as a nation.
Today marks 5 years of senseless war, pay attention, get involved, vote, and never stop asking questions and discussing answers, it's the only way possible to honor the dead who died for our freedoms.
