WHY??

I am a mother of a serving soldier, a lucky mother as my son has returned home from Iraq. There are FIVE families tonight who are not as lucky, for they are trying to bring reason to something that has no reason.  There were 8,000 families on Saturday HOLDING their breath praying it was not them, feeling elation when they found out it was not them...then GUILT because it mean't it was someone else (but they would not swop places) which then added to the guilt. I cried when I saw the pictures from Iraq, then again cried with frustration to hear Des Browne saying the same old "we will stay til the job is done, as long as the Iraq goverment want us there etc etc" . It has now become the Iraqi goverment and not the Iraqi people!!!.. Well we saw that for ourselves on Saturday.  I want Blair and Browne to feel what we feel to be scared to answer the phone (in case it's THAT call) afraid to NOT to answer the phone (in case it's their son/husband/daughter ringing). To scan papers/tv/internet for a snippet of news. To live half your life here and half a life in Iraq/limbo land. My son is home my nightmare continues through the friends i have made who still have loved ones there and the threat he could have to return if that Egotistical Maniac does admit the fact we are there illegally and BRING OUR TROOPS HOME!!!!!  PLEASE....

My thoughts and prayers are with the breaved families also my tears and heartache, no words can help...............
