Rock in Iowa
There is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy.25 in rural Iowa. For generations, kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back, the rock received its latest paint job, and since then it has been left completely undisturbed. It's quite an impressive sight. The flag is actually painted on the rock too.
The patriotism is evident. I am caught in the quagmire of the war. I was not sorry to see Sadam go, but now I wonder if he wasn't good and keeping worse enemies at bay. Perhaps we were right to go into Iraq, I don't know. This I do know: I am not willing to send my sons. We will get a new President and I am guessing that person will pull us out of Iraq. Then what? Will the terrorists become stronger and attack America's soil and American interests abroad? Then what will we do?
