Under Kerry our soldiers would be peace keepers not warriors
Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 03:59 PM by Melodybe
for those that think that there is no difference between Kerry and Bush I ask you to consider that. Remember that Kerry is a man that had to go and kill in Vietnam just to survive, but then he came back and spoke out against an unjust war and in fact helped to end it.

I truly believe that instead of leaving Iraq a giant mess, we actually try to restore peace and stability. I think that with Kerry, prisoner abuse will end and we can begin to help heal Iraq and our own nation.

We all want the same thing, even most repugs truly wanted for the people of Iraq to have their own nation. A nation like ours, or atleast a nation that is as good as ours can be.

Those that argue one can not spout peace and carry a gun, I agree with you and I think that under Kerry that has a possiblity of happening.

1. Unfortunately,
they are much better warriors than peacekeepers.

3. I don't think that they have been giving the chance.

2. And Iraqis will still not want them there and will continue to resist
Kerry's intentions may be good, but it is wrong for the US (or any country) to station troops in a country where they are not wanted.
