Ya know after 5 years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq, we have lost 127 men and women kia or accidents (i always wonder how you qualify this, as the person dying in an "Accident" ,would not be there in the first place had there been no war?)

The state of Alaska has had 127 killed, wounded ?. There is only 750,000 people in Alaska, so these losses are very much felt statewide, and not just a metro area.

I am against then war from its inception to present.

I am so saddened fer the president and his administration (impident rage and resentment was an apt description at one time) for how  and where they have brought us as a nation to this state of being.

I am even more saddened by the fact, that we will be fortunate to withdraw from Iraq in maybe 4 to 6 years.

To withdraw  earlier, we will further the destabilzation of a region ready to explode in all out war.

The casualties would then start to approximate those suffered by certain countries in WW2.

This region is going to suffer severe water shortages within the next 3 to 5 years. Bringing war and more strife to an already unstable region.

There looms the spectre of Avien Flu Pandemic, is not a propagandist made up fantasy. The top doctors in the fields disease control say "When" not "What If" or "Maybe".

So you add an already stretched thin American military into these situations fer our nation, and it spells what?????????????????????????????????
