One war, millions of different stories

Isn't it weird how so many people can be involved in the same war and have so many different stories about it? My ex said it was horrid, while one of my friends said it wasn't that bad, and both were in the same area. I think a lot of it depends on how they feel about it.

most of the people who think it isn't too bad seem to be people who feel like the war was something we needed to do, and that democracy should be spread throughout the world, while most who are miserable think the terrorism needs to end, but feel like we have done enough, or that we are more trying to dominate the world than help it....I can see both sides.

as I listened to president Bush's speech this morning, I noticed one thing he seemed to bring up a lot (or atleast put a lot of emphasis on) was how we are trying to spread democracy and western values throughout the world. This is where I see the world domination thing come in, and it is where a lot of countries see it too. I believe fully that Saddam was a horrid dictator who was abusive and tortured his people, and that he needed to go, but to be honest, if the leader of a communist country, for example, went on the news and started saying that they were going to lead a mission to capture the American president because they felt he was not doing things right and hurting our country, and we were now going to be communist, I would freak out!! It doesn't justify how these people are handling things, but I do see where some of the people are uprising, and are probably mis informed. It's like the telephone game, after the info goes through a few people, it gets twisted. I just hope it all ends soon and that our people can come home :)
