If only we could identify with our soldiers in Iraq as we identify with the students of Virginia Tech! Here's a way we can.

To increase involvement and thereby initiate a better and more timely resolution of the war in Iraq, I propose the creation of a web-space where uninvolved civilians can become more involved personally by "adopting" a deployed soldier and becoming a member of the soldier's virtual family/support group. The relationship would benefit the civilian as well as the soldier and his or her family.

To be most effective, the site must be non-partisan: neither pro- nor anti- war, left nor right, Republican nor Democratic. The initial objective is purely to support the troops by getting involved with them personally. This can only bring about a better and more timely outcome for all involved, and that is the ultimate goal. Getting all involved is the key, and this is a way to get all involved.
