Comments on: Hillary Clinton Will Obliterate Iran http://readethos.com/2008/04/25/hillary-clinton-will-obliterate-iran/ A blog on race, class, politics & culture Sun, 29 Mar 2009 03:55:29 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Perk http://readethos.com/2008/04/25/hillary-clinton-will-obliterate-iran/#comment-74 Perk Sat, 03 May 2008 01:08:10 +0000 http://ourtwocents.wordpress.com/?p=63#comment-74 Well said. War is horrendous no matter how you look at it. For Hillary to make those comments is plain out arrogant and unacceptable. You're absolutely right, those who did vote for the war are certainly no different that those people in office who voted for it. The fact that more people have died in Iraq than during 911 is terrible. Yet, we seem to overlook that fact. As written in a NY Times article by a 22 year old who kept a journal but later died in Iraq: After 232 long, desolate, morose, but somewhat days of tranquility into deployment, I’ve decided that I should start writing some of the things I experienced here in Iraq. I have to say that the events that I have encountered here have changed my outlook on life... The most recent mission started out as a 24-36 hour air-assault sniper mission in a known al-Qaida stronghold just north of Baghdad. We landed a few hours before daybreak and as soon as I got off the helicopter my night vision broke, I was surrounded by the sound of artillery rounds, people screaming in Arabic, automatic weapons, and the terrain didn’t look anything like what we were briefed. I knew it was going to be a bad day and a half. Jerry Ryen King, journal entry, March 7, 2007 I couldn't imagine this being my last year on Earth. This poor soldier will never raise a family, will never experience all the joys and wonders of living life. It's just unacceptable. We have to do better than this, yet unfortunately no matter who gets the nomination, it will take a long-ass time for things to change. Well said. War is horrendous no matter how you look at it.
