Stop the War

Excellent letter in a local newspaper this morning which reads as follows:
--------------
"The recent kidnapping and barbaric killing of two U.S. soldiers in Iraq should be a wake-up call to Americans who consider Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's death to be a turning point and good news for the Bush administration ("Killing of 2 missing GIs possibly a show of force by insurgents, analysts say,'' June 21).

There will be no turning point, but rather an endless cycle of violence and bloodshed until U.S. soldiers return home and Iraqis learn to reconcile their extreme elements with their moderate elements and carry on as their own society.

The question is not whether we can win the war on terrorism if we stay -- we cannot. The question is: When will we bring our military home or put it to serve a worthwhile cause? Soldiers will die at alarmingly high rates until the Bush administration decides to do so. Until then, every day means more American and Iraqi blood on President Bush's hands. The recent killings should serve as a reminder."

Unfotunately those running the U.S. Government are too stubborn to admit their mistakes and the futility of trying to shove Democracy down the throats of the unwilling. We need a change in government here and some soul searching by all politicians.
