I was just wondering about peoples opinon about Iraq. Well to me I think its just a waste of money because the government spends our tax money to forgin countries to get materials for the war and in the end we pay more, like are national debt is almost a trillion. Also its a waste of lives...
Everyone says that we're in Iraq to fight for our freedom. How are the Iraqi's taking away our freedom? I understand we're there to fight the war on terror, but I don't get it? Is this a pre-emptive strike to make sure that the terrorism would never take away our freedoms?

My question is why do people who have soldiers in Iraq have to pay $600 plus dollars to register the use of the phone satellite calls? Especially when we can't afford that money all at once. How are those of us who haven't been able to talk to our people there supposed to be able to make contact?
