Just trying to keep it fresh. Every day, there's tragedy over there. Obviously, I feel the war was not the correct logical or moral decision -- though I do recognize its legality. I don't approve of warhawkishness, nor do I agree with our new allocation of resources to support such efforts. And, I see so much of it as just use of the military to have giveaways to government cronies. Sure, we each get strip searched for an hour delay at the airport, but nothing has been done with safeguarding the ports -- in over 3 years. NOte that the great generation helped save 2 continents in that time period. Note that twice as much ($40 million) was spent investigating in what Monica Lewinsky did with a cigar to give it that special flavor than was spent on the 9-11 commission.
Yet, we go blithely along. So long as it's somebody else dying, not me, though, right?
