A Fantastic Opportunity

I'm going to see Robin Williams tomorrow night. I am on cloud 9. I am bursting with excitement, just knowing I'm going to be in the same room as him. I hope he does a meet and greet after his set, it will be a fantastic opportunity to shake hands with a comedic giant.

It's Time for This to End

Honestly, I was one of the few people who in the beginning believed that the Iraq war was the wrong thing. I was called unpatriotic and a traitor. How could I go against the President? We had to go after those "evil doers" no matter what. You're not supporting the troops. On the contrary, I was supporting them by not wanting them to loose their lives in a senseless war.
Now 4 years later people have changed their tune, amazing.
I am weary of seeing day after day the names of our soldiers, some barely adults, being flashed across the screen because they have lost their lives. How many more family's have to grieve the loss of a loved one before the President wakes up and brings these poor kids home? Everyone has told him different strategies for Iraq, yet he seems to live in this soundproof bubble, unaware of what anyone is saying to him. We're "losing", we've been losing for a very long time. We've lost lives, we've lost allies, we've lost respect.
Mr. President, open you're eyes, you said, "You're either with us or against us", sir, no one is with you anymore. Listen to us, listen to the Study group, listen to the generals, listen to your own party, everyone is against you.
Please don't let another innocent American or Iraqi die in vain for your war.
