The Senate just approved 150 billion dollars to continue funding this debacle in Iraq. While I recognize that there simply aren't enough votes to do anything concrete about this war, I still cannot help but wonder why did I make such an exaggerated effort to go to the polls last election. What exactly are those who still hold their votes--that gift from the American people--out to end a long-lost cause? How many more limbless veterans or bagged bodies must be returned to our soil before it dawns on these hopeful individuals that Iraq was an absolute failure?
I exercised my right to vote yet it has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
