Iraq war tipping point reached in my family...
Edited on Sun Jun-19-05 09:28 PM by rndmprsn
my mother, who lives in north carolina and voted enthusiastically for bushie in 2000 and 2004, is an evangelical christian and supported the invasion of iraq just told me two days ago that she has thought it out and now agrees that we need to leave iraq sooner rather than later... the situation in iraq has now caused her to question bushies judgement.

this is a pretty big deal in my family

believe me i've been at work on her for awhile and now that the seeds of doubt have been planted on iraq...the rest will follow; social security, environment, war on terra, economy/jobs, etc...

i believe this same thing is happening to many, many families throughout this country right now...we have reached a tipping point on this bogus war.

1. I hope your right.
It's a shame that it took so many, many deaths to get to this point.

2. This is why I read DU. It has always given me hope. Thanks.
I belong to her country, again, and these divides have got to stop. We're supposed to be one country. Bushco's largest crime is his division of americans against each other. We can heal that. But it does take time.

Please tell you mom we're glad to be back on her side.
