Does it bother anyone else that the US weapons inspectors are leaving Iraq without finding anything? Does it bother anyone else that on the basis of what could very well be faulty intelligence, we toppled a regime and hundreds -- if not thousands -- of innocent civillians were killed for absolutely no reason? And more alarming, it freaks me out that no one in this country cares that George W. Bush has a) not demonstrated the existence of the reason for the war and b) the fact that now he's eyeing Iran and accusing them of terrorism.

Now I am as patriotic as the next girl and heck knows, I think some of those leaders are the boogeymen. I know they aren't nice people. But this is ridiculous. The plan to put Iraq back together is in shambles and it looks like it's going to be years before we leave that country (which, btw, gives fundamentalists even greater reason to despise the US). Does it bother anyone else that the Oregon school districts had to cut their school year short due to lack of funding and yet we're pouring all of this money into Iraq?
