recently came back from Iraq. He was gone for a year.
He said something that sticks in my mind whenever someone criticizes the war in Iraq.
He said, "The Iraqi people want the freedoms we have as Americans so bad, you could see it in their faces. Everytime I hear someone complaining, I just want to tell them that we shouldn't take those freedoms for granted and if they don't like it, they should just leave the U.S."

I could not agree more. My cousin came home in March from a year in Iraq. He said the people only dream of a life that we have. He said he got hugs, and thankyous from people he met. I think it so sad, that so many people open there mouths, with no knowledge on the issue at hand.
