Fact: the Iraq War, though improvident to many Americans (a good number in retrospect), nonetheless is a duly authorized and constituted military operation of the United States of America. Those who have and will die do so under that aegis. Maudlin, sentimental gambits aimed (and in this instance, awkwardly) at emotional "resolution" before reason can lead policy to a suitable exit are not only largely unhelpful but generally unwelcome as well. Oh, I almost forgot to comment on the "holier-than-thou" angle just dripping off this lark. Yes, "lark," when hard thought and resolute good sense are needed. Finally, do you actually think that you care more for our dead than the average Republican, especially, based on the understanding I have, when more of "their" folk serve in that theater than "ours"?
