“Is This Love?”
Susan Sarandon said she would leave America if McCain became the next president. This made me sad. Not just because I love her sappy acting but also because it made me think of also those who fight to come to America. I am thinking of refugees from countries like Somalia and Sudan. I am thinking of those who jump the border from Mexico, almost dying and risking never seeing their families. And I am also thinking of those young men and women in countries like India and China who study 16-20 hours a day so they can pass state exams, which will guarantee them a seat in a good college and eventually bring them to the U.S.
Are their struggles in vain, when someone like Susan Sarandon can so carelessly say she will just move to Canada or Italy. Poof and she is gone. I have been reading the papers and the blogs and people seem upset that she and other stars have said things like this before and never kept their promise. To me what is more upsetting is that amidst this manufactured war between Republicans and Democrats in the name of elections and politics, we have given the American people an exit strategy but not the war in Iraq.

People like that make me mad! As far as the war goes you have to understand that if everyone leaves like Obama and other would like them to if we walk away it would have been worse the best way i can put it is.Putting something in a cage with a dog who is mad that duck would not work out so well.And we would have a bigger problem then we have now i happen to know someone who is over there now he thinks its the best thing i also knew someone who was over there for over a year and he said it was the right thing to do because if it wasnt then things would be worse then it was when its all started.So listening to them i think we are going the right way i just wish we didnt loose so many wondeful people over there.
