As the truth began to come out, peoples trust in our leader at the most important time of all: wartime, began to waver. If we weren't there to prevent Iraq from attacking us, then why were we still there? I think Americans are frustrated at timelines that are never followed, the money-pit the war has turned into when millions of Americans can't afford insurance and schools are cutting programs, and the feeling that our soldiers are dying for no purpose. Though a reputation isn't as important as people's lives, I think many Americans are embarrassed by the actions of Bush and his administration, and I agree, we have no business acting like the world's police.
Thats good to hear... You should watch that film. "Lions for Lambs"... It comes up with some interesting points... It's all basically against the WAR
