▼Heather Martin - When Are You Coming Home
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVFF98kNg8Q
(Lyrics)You were almost sixteen when I came into the world.
Mom and Dad had you first then 3 more boys I'm the baby girl.
I sure have a lot to look up to in you, you're really smart and funny with a big heart too.
After one year of college you knew what you had to do.
It's just like you wanting to help with the war.
So you joined the army when I was only 4.
This time of year we talk of big plans but you're over seas in some distant land.
You can't be here for Christmas, I don't understand.
Chorus:
When are you coming home, Shaun?
When are you coming home?!
We lit up the house like we always do but it doesn't seem bright 'cause we can't have you.
In my prayers I ask God to keep you safe.
And I'm trying to be really brave.
Tell me that the fighting's through.
Come home!
I really miss you.It's hard to enjoy the holidays without you.
But we're so proud of you and all the red white and blue.
Remember that Jesus is your best friend,
And someday our families will be together again.
Wow! You know we'll have a great big party then.Chorus
I want to show you how tall I've grown and introduce you to my new friends at school.
Maybe we could go and get some ice cream together but I really don't care what we do.

▼<イラク増派>国民6割以上が「反対」 米世論調査

>米ギャラップ社などが9日公表した世論調査によると、ブッシュ米大統領が10日発表すると見られるイラク駐留米軍の2万人規模の増強計画に、「反対」と答えた米国民が6割以上になった。大統領のイラク政策の支持率も同社調査では過去最低の26%まで下がっており、ブッシュ政権が目指す政策刷新に国民の理解を得ることが極めて困難な状況を印象づけた。
