It would be nice if everything could be worked out through peace talks, but sadly people desire power, and will do anything to keep that power. Most soldiers are led to believe that their way of life is the correct way and if they don't fight for it they are worthless and living a false life. Fanaticism, when said soldiers turn martyr and attack any that oppose their way of life. It doesn't make things easy and sometimes the only way to work things out is through brute force.
Not to say what we are doing in Iraq is the right thing to do, but we can't just pull out halfway through. It's a fake war, hiding all the secret agendas of the Bush Regime.
Yes, I said Regime, because he's as bad as Saddam.

The news is Biased, they show what they think the people want to see and what will make people more on our side. They show our soldiers dying, or civilians dying, they don't show the other side, they don't show from an Iraqi's perspective. That is where the history and travel channel come in. That is why so many journalists get payed good money to go to these countries in the middle of war. People want to know the truth. The truth hurts, but it is one of the only ways to open the eyes of the ignorant.

The US is not free. In these later decades, we've lost rights, and said sense of freedom. The government, thought subtly, does suppress the people. Wiretapping, and the corrupt Justice System(Did you know that 90% of innocent people are usually found guilty on their first trial?).

But in Honor of Memorial day, I Salute our fallen heroes. Those that fight not for the country, but for the people. The families, and the rights that were established long ago. Those that fight so that the less fortunate do not have to. I salute you.

i agree.u write well.u write amazing.
