Sup Mad..I never read anything from you before but I was feelin the whole vibe of this piece. You raised a lot of good questions and also good points in their defense, really makes one think while reading it. The only part i questioned was:

"Everything over there was running alright?
What was the point of going into a fight?"

I dont know if you're referring to the whole war with Iraq in that statement, (i Know you mentioned it earlier on but you could have been talkin a whole nother time and place or just in general with that line) but if you were, I dont think everything was ALRIGHT in Iraq at all. n i dont condone the murder of people but we didnt just go over there for nothing. Kinda contradictory, patriotism and not condoning murder...ANYWAY, great piece, look u got me on all this other shit.
Stay up and keep droppin em.
You definately have a talent
