U.S. public's Iraq gloom rises

The Swamp - Chicago Tribune - Blogs.:

"Seven-in-ten now believe that President Bush lacks a clear plan for ending the war successfully, the highest number expressing that view in surveys dating to September 2003. Fully 89% of Democrats and 79% of independents believe Bush lacks a clear plan on resolving the conflict, but 40% of Republicans share this opinion."

If it's any consolation , we too, stand by saddened and feeling futile as leaders just let this sore pour more and more blood over our planet.It's worse for us because of the AWB scandal. That is really upsetting us. That Australians are not saying much is telling. We sit and listen and listen and listen. As human beings we would fix it. We would try to fix it and we would probably find a way. While all that weaponry and destruction is over there, there is no way for anyone to find alternative paths. Bombing for peace and killing for democracy just isn't working and it is hurting us more and more. We are at the stage where we want to move forward and change things and we have shown time and time again that as people all over the world we can hold out our hands and help each other. We cannot help with so much weaponry around and unreliable communications. So we are trying to think what to do as we try not to listen to the horrendous statistics for our soldiers and the Iraqi people and then there is this awful feeling that it has been going on for so long and showing no signs of abating that maybe no one actually wants to fix it. Each person killed is a son, daughter, father, mother, friend, relative. Each person belongs. It will only take one sentence to turn our heads around and get us on the right path but no one has thought of that sentence yet.
