Respectfully keep out of the Iraqi civil war. Too many lives have been lost. Iraqi soldiers are deserting their posts.

We are petitioning the administration not to send more troops to Iraq. Iraqi soldiers are deserting their posts and running away from the insurgents. We are being told that we are going to go in to train these troops. How can you train people that are deserting their own army?? We have spent $600 Billion dollars in Iraq and lost so many American lives to no avail. Please do not involve us in a civil war that we cannot influence. We could have done so much more good had we used this money to provide a better education to our young people, better housing and repair America's infrastructure ; not to speak of the many lives that would have been saved. Soldiers who we know now died for no reason.
