When will it be over?

Many Americans feel today that it was a mistake to enter Iraq and bring our men and women to war. Many Americans also feel that we were misled by the Bush Administration on the terms given to us as reason for the war. These questions in no way mean that the majority of Americans do not support the troops that are over there. We most certainly do support all the men and women who are placing their lives on the line in Iraq. Our main reason for the questions is because we care for the troops well being and safety and want them to come home as soon as possible. It is our support for these troops that became the driving force behind our questions and concerns over this war. Now that we are over there and in the midst of what daily on television seems as chaos what do we do? Many Americans feel that since we are there we have made the mess so we must clean it up and finish the job. My question now is.... When will the job be finished? What will it take to be able to declare completion? How long will we feel the need for our American men and women to be in harms way? When will enough be enough? Well one thing I am fairly certain of is that the answers to these questions will greatly depend on whether a republican or a democrat is in office next presidential term.
