    I highly disagree with the war, and with the reason we are at war. I am mostly upset that Osama Bin Laden is still at large, as he is the reason the war started (or that is what we were told). I would be happier if they found him and ended this search. I would feel safer if they found him and ended the search.

    If the war was about finding him still, I'd support it more I think. I really, really, really want him caught. I was at the towers on 9/11, and I still do not feel safe knowing that man is out there.

    However, I really think that each of us should support our service men and women regardless of what we think of the war. These men and women signed up because they love our country and are willing to die for it. They don't get a vote on what war they get to fight in. They have to go where they are told, even if they disagree. So I whole heartedly support them.

    Sorry, I have no sources, this is really just how I feel in my heart.

    Generally, I think war affects people the same way. People don't like war, however it is part of life. There are certain things that we need to do to protect this nation and war is one of them right now. I'm sick of hearing these people talk about how much they hate the war and to bring the troops home. I would love it if this war was over and for our troops to be home. But, that isn't going to solve anything. If we were to call off the war today and send all the troops home, there would be hell to pay next week. Iraq still does not have a self sufficient military and we cannot leave until they do. The price of oil is continuing to rise and the prices would soar if we left. It's unfortunate. I don't like it and I wish we lived in a perfect world where we could all just get along. But, we don't live in a perfect world and never will. This is life. This is the experience. We have to deal with it and make the most of it in order to survive.

    As a McCain supporter who was formally a Hillary supporter I think war is a necessary evil and I tend to agree with George Bush who said:

    "when we talk about war what we are really talking about is peace"
