If this makes me a hypocrite, so be it. If Romney was in office right now, I would be protesting. But I am not. Nothing in President Obama's background indicates that he cares for profits or corporate interests over people. Nothing indicates that he wants war for oil or empire. I still believe him to be a man of peace. I voted for him for peace, my Obama '08 bumper sticker had peace symbols on either side of it just to show my point. I very trully believe he goes into this with a very heavy heart. I believe he is faced with a very difficult no-win situation and I wish him well in making the right decision.

The thought of this country dropping bombs again just kills me, but President Obama has been so excellent to date for women's rights, minorities, the economy and, yes, peace. Against my usual nature, I will trust him on this.
