Oh, my God.

Two American soldiers were killed as they waited in traffic when their throats were slit by Iraqi attackers. Even as I type this, I realize that hundreds of American soldiers have been shot and blown up, but somehow this just seems so...human. When you take away the guns and bombs and some Iraqi still hates us enough to pull out a knife, it sends a very clear message. We need to get out.

I hate our president. We need an election in the worst way. We have not accomplished our real objective, and it is becoming increasingly unlikely that we will. Does anyone remember when the idea was to kill Saddam Hussein? Or that other guy, what's-his-name...oh, yeah, Osama bin Laden? Last I heard, Bush hadn't even mentioned bin Laden's name since July 2002. We never caught our first man, so our president lied to us to embroil us in a situation that we, quite frankly, cannot handle. And guess what? Bush still hasn't delivered. What are the soldiers dying for now?

People are dying in Iraq. People are unemployed at home. The economy's gone to hell. No real improvements have been made in education (and don't tell me that No Child Left Behind is a great aid to schools. Believe me, it's not.) Nearly every country in the world hates the United States. What has Bush done for this country?

What is America now? It is a laughingstock. People think Americans are fools. Perhaps they're right. I'm embarrassed to be an American. I am ashamed of Bush.

If we're lucky, we've only got one more year of this.
