I agree with kaitlyn and how she said that the new congress might not even make a difference in how things are going in Iraq, or even the way things are going in general. What I’m saying is that even if a new president came (which couldn’t be soon enough for me) we still wouldn’t be able to fix the problems in Iraq now. We are in way too deep to get out even remotely fast enough. If we handled things the right way, we wouldn’t be anywhere near Iraq. We’d be finding Osama Bin Laden instead of trying to kill everyone that crosses our path in Iraq.

by the way, its julia from your hour 5 class.

I encourage my students to refrain from just launching insults..eg ...."dimwit" toward the president... Our arguements are much stronger when supported by fact... Feel free to hyperlink to NYTImes articles, or other websites that support your opinions.... we are looking for opinions based on fact not just emotional recaction to Mr. Bush
