Sorry, that it has been so long since my last posting. Can't even say that it has been because of work or family problems. It's simply that I really haven't had much to say.
Okay, I've had a LOT to say, but it would basically be me ranting about the war in Iraq and you can get that 24/7 just about anywhere.
What can you say at this point besides it being a bad mistake which shouldn't have happened? Hundreds of Iraqi civilians and more than that number of soldiers have died. The casualties of the coalition are not anywhere near that number but it is still sad to see them losing their lives for some ill-conceived, political agenda of the Bush administration.
The Washington Monthly has an interesting article by Josua Micah Marshall. He tries to exam the real reason behind the current war, and warns that this may only be the beginning of a much, longer series of wars. Given Donald Rumsfeld's recent comments about Syria, the first part of Marshall's essay seems almost prophetic. Whether you agree with him or not, the article is still interesting reading. (I admit that Mark Evanier had a link to this article last week, but I've only had a chance to read the article yesterday.)
