War Poetry

I have read many of the poems on all the sites. We all know war is a very ugly thing. We all know that men women and child all die. It is not something that any one is proud of and if they are then they are just messed in the head. But as I read many of these poems I became angry not only because of all the killing but because the poets, I felt, attacked the American people for the war. I also felt like they made the president sound like a man who does not have a heart. I don't believe that for one minute. I do believe he regrets the fact that many innocent men women and children where killed. I do not like all the killing but I would much rather have it be over there then here in my back yard. When (9/11 hit, I felt like it was in my backyard. I am glad that we took the war over there then waiting and having more attacks on us. None of us are really sure what is really taking place over there. We are constantly getting mixed messages or slated messages depending on what party you are for. It is very frustrating to me. I am never sure what to think. But I do know this after seeing the middle east including Iraq rejoice over what happened on 9/11 I would have to say that the number of innocent people lost still is nothing compared to how many we lost on that tragic day. I am not saying that losing soldiers is ok because I would love more than any thing to see every single one of our soldiers to come back alive but the reality of war is that some will die no mater how hard we work to reduce the number of causalities. I am sorry if the offends anyone that was not my intention just the emotions that came from reading the poetry.
