The last few days we have seen the television media cover the story of State Department Diplomats facing the possibility of being ordered to serve in Iraq if enough volunteers do not step forward to serve there.
It was reported in a town hall meeting this past Wednesday that diplomats raised concerns about the "potential death sentence" of being ordered to serve in Iraq. (from Associated Press writer Matthew Lee). Condi Rice, the Secretary of State, reminded the diplomats they took an oath to serve where ever necessary regardless of the risks.
This is just one of the so many tragic fallouts of this war and occupation over WMD that did not exist. So many things have gone wrong with this war that one could write a book solely about the fallout and problems. There will be many more problems triggered by this war in the future because the Commander in Chief still has no plan to end the war deep into the fourth year. Can anyone really remember a President, other than Mr. Bush, who has harmed our country so often with their reckless behavior?

It truly is disgraceful to order people against their will to go to Iraq, which is a potential death sentence. When those diplomats stood up and correctly asked the state department, "who will care for our families if we are killed?", the state department released a statement that absolutely disgusted me. They said, "They need to put their country before their personal lives."
Now, believe me, I love this country. But I would never risk hurting my family for the sake of this President's war. NEVER, and for anyone to suggest that people should is absolutely disgraceful.
