I could not disagree more with Bob Fitrakis' City of Peace article
by Keith Shamblin
April 3, 2008

I have friends and children of friends fighting in the middle east today.  

I also have business associates of middle eastern descent that has family members in Iraq.

I have seen with my own eyes and been told of the gratitude most people in Iraq has for our troops and the freedom they are bringing.

So I would ask Bob this question.  What dollar amount would you put on the freedoms of these people?

One last thing.  When people using the term "illegal war" reminds me of a small child's tantrum.  If it was illegal, we wouldn't be there.  But hey ... that's just my opinion.
