Reply #43: We already have contingency plans [View All]

[Poor Richard]

I grew up a patriot. I loved the US, served in the military. I hate what this country is becoming.

I hate what we are doing in Iraq. It was obvious the first go round in Iraq that it was all about the oil.

But now I have two young children. I won't let them be drafted to fight in a rich man's war.

So the wife and I have decided that if things keep progressing like they are, we are going to pick up and move to Europe. My family is English/Scottish so maybe we will go there, and the wife speaks french. We will go by the time the oldest turns 14 or so.

I will become a citizen of another country. I never thought I would actually even consider such a thing.

War, much less a draft, should only be started to defend the US from attack. America finishes wars, not starts them. We surely didnt need to spend our money and the lives of our sons and daughters in Iraq. Although some fools still argue otherwise.

After seeing the information that Bush*co used to base their decision to go to war, I wouldn't trust that bunch to change the oil in my car
