Well, here we are at the much-hyped "moment of truth" regarding the Iraq War; the report on the "surge" from General Petraeus (SIC?)...And - SURPRISE! - Bush isn't budging an inch... The Republicans in Congress will not put their votes where their mouths are... And I have the feeling that this is just going to drag on and on indefinitely. I am absolutely ready to throw up. I can't take it any more. Does anyone else feel this way???
What can we do? We can't just wait for the election and a new President. Thousands of people are dying in the meantime! It's the most amazing and despicable thing I've ever seen. And I feel absolutely helpless. Yes, we can do everything we can to support Obama, we can call and e-mail our congresspeople and senators, we can sign petitions, BLAH BLAH BLAH...Still nothing changes! How did this happen? How can one stubborn idiot have so much power?? I thought this was a democracy. I agree with everything Obama says, and I support him 150%, but it's just not enough. What can we do??
We have to stop being afraid. We have to start standing our ground even if it risks our chances in the next election. The majority in Congress - no matter how slim - must say enough is enough. I AM BEGGING EVERY DEMOCRATIC AND MODERATE REPUBLICAN IN CONGRESS TO STOP IT NOW. STOP FUNDING THIS WAR. STOP FUNDING THE GOVERNMENT IF NECESSARY. STOP THIS PRESIDENT AND THIS WAR NO MATTER WHAT THE POLITICAL COSTS.
I wish I thought the people who make these decisions were actually listening. I fear they are not. What can we do???
