Another Proud American

A letter from Jack from Spokane, WA to NBC:

My wife is Iraqi. I am not. She lives in freedom and peace in America now while her parents and siblings are scattering anywhere but Iraq. Her parents were forced to leave behind all they know, all they own, and all they worked a lifetime to accomplish and accumulate. Her sisters are in three different countries in the area, her brother follows the parents whereever they go. Her mother will never see her government pension that she worked 30 years to earn. Her sister is trying to emigrate and has been told she must return to Iraq for a new passport stamp (by the US Embassy) even though she has informed the embassy that the stamp they require does not exist and there is nobody in Iraq that can do it.
My wife has no country to return to. She can never take me to her birthplace or to visit her family in their home because it is gone to them forever. I was in Iraq for all of 2004 (US Army Officer). This is not what I was fighting for.
Thank you GWB and your evil advisors. You have destroyed an entire culture, country and countless families in order to do what?
By the way, my wife grew up in a peaceful family, without bloodshed or murder. Her father is Sunni and her mother is Shia.....
Doesn't it make you proud to be an American....
