18. I wouldn't, but then, I'm so much against the war that I couldn't
even imagine thinking that anything about it is worth it. I'm sure that my response would be rage at the politicians responsible.

However, I really can't blame people who have lost a loved one, and try to find some kind of meaning in their death. It may just be something that alot of people have to do in order to cope. I really can't blame people for whatever their coping mechanisms may be.

I would imagine that most of the people serving in Iraq, and their families deal with the horrible sacrifices by convincing themselves that it's for some higher purpose.

Also, alot of people just don't bother to think, or to inform themselves, or to question authority figures.
