what would you do, hammer?

If I was in my present situation, with a wife and child, the first damn thing I would do is LEAVE. Hell, there are safe zones in the north and the south. Get my family there. Life may be harder that way, but at least we would be free to think and say what we wish....
If I truly BELIEVED in the country of Iraq and its people, I would join the opposition in the safe areas and try to push for the day that madman was taken out of power.
If I didn't give a damn, the category I think most of the Iraqis are, I'd live with my wife and child away from the grasp of that oppressive regime.
I mean, what would happen if we ALL were just trying to live life, without pushing for what was right?
Would we still be an English colony?
Would Blacks still be slaves?
There are times where we have to decide whether we are going to put ourselves out on the line for a cause bigger than ourselves. The line and time is different for every one of us.
I myself will stand up on that wall with a weapon next to every other patriot. Everyone who knows me will affirm that's true.
That is the difference between someone who knows freedom and someone who knows nothing but the butt of a rifle.
Just my opinion...
