#1 "I want to be able to tell the troops that there are Americans who still believe we are doing the right thing by being there."

So long as I live, I will NEVER forgive John Kerry and his slimey ilk for making it necessary for these good people to go over there and assure our soldiers that some of us "still believe" they are there for a noble cause. That ANY among us believe they aren't, because of the Democratic Party's cynically contrived opposition to the war, is a national disgrace.

#2 I hope these parents can see something there to maintain their belief their childrens' deaths accomplished something. While I think it did, I am not sure it will be obvious, and I am concerned that if they come back and express disillusionment it will be virtually impossible to counter their righteousness.
