Bush has decided to invade Iraq, killing thousands of innocent people and paying billions of dollars in ransom to other countries to use their soil to launch his invasion.

Every day we read of lost jobs, the breakdown of health care, a falling stock market, soaring homeland security costs and states cutting back on services. We would be better served if Bush paid more attention to running the United States instead of other countries. Imagine if those billions of dollars were poured into our own economy.

I support servicemen and women 100 percent, I just don’t support Bush sending them to war.
