The forgotten. Values over troops in Iraq? America may have just voted wrongly, and these Marines may have to suffer their mistake. Would President Bush be the right choice for Iraq and the rest of the world? Only time will tell. 4 more years will tell. http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/ramadi/

It's almost 3, I ought to make this short. One day from my greatest fear, Maths C 9233 Paper 1. Guess it's nothing compared to the terror these Marines will be facing in Fallujah. I don't know about the comments some of them made, that "Satan is in Fallujah. And we're going in to fix him." Naviete? I guess they live up to how Lord Alfred Tennyson describes the soldier in "Charge of the Light Brigade", "Theirs not to make reply,/ Theirs not to reason why,/ Theirs but to do and die."

The higher ups will do the thinking for us, we're going in just to kill the bad guys, the generals and the President will make sure we're fighting the right people. No children in the streets, no fraticide, no innocent civilians. The insurgents will have horns on their heads, tails sticking out their butts and carry pitchforks, not RPGs and AK-47s. Right?

Right?
