It's heartbreaking to watch the violence in Iraq, particularly the last few days when a radical Islamist group the West calls ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria) is taking control of many of the larger cities. It's 'Shock and Awe' in reverse. The Iraqi Army 'melted away' according to a Kurdish leader (CBS News, Holly Williams).
I wish the people who supported the war (Boehner, McCain and Graham et al) and who continue to heckle President Obama's decision to 'end' the war, would learn a lesson. This was foretold when Bush and Cheney turned away from Afghanistan and invaded Iraq with the idea of creating a Democracy. It was a horrible decision then and it would be a horrible decision today.
Time to write another e-mail to President Obama - short and sweet:
"Hello - I do NOT support any further activity in Iraq. Please do not listen to people like Boehner, McCain, or Graham. Thank you, Vicky"
