Anyone who currently supports the war in Iraq would be well advised to visit the Vietnam War Memorial in D.C. It is absolutely over-powering. My father was career military and served two tours in that god-forsaken war. I did not easily join the ranks of protesters, believe me. That memorial is overwhelming. When I visited it, I had to literally sit down and cry. I cried for all the men who had died senselessly, I cried for the waste of my own father's patriotism and courage and heart - all for nothing, for a game politicians chose to play. It's the same political game today; 1,000 dead and counting in a pointless war instigated by a man who never had the courage to fight for his country himself.
