I received a call from a friend this morning telling me about a You Tube video with an Iraqi war vet.  This vet had a message for Sen Obama about his support for the war.  Since his office, like others, block viewing You Tube videos I decided to post it here.

This soldiers message was simple.  The sacrifices of the americans and Iraqi people in Iraqi wasn’t a mistake.  They want the same freedoms that we take for granted.  The freedom from tyranny and terrorism.  The freedom to prosper and to raise they’re children, to pass on a future.  They want a chance at what we take for granted.  They’re not asking for handouts, bailouts or checks.  They want a chance at freedom and our brave service men and women are providing that for them.    

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.  ~Thomas Paine
