I just started to listen to a book on tape on The Prince by Machiavelli. I just got to the part where he gives his advice when one ruler takes over another territory where the population is hostile. I have to compare what he says with what we are dling there.
Everytime I see a maimed wounded veteran or body bag coming out of Afghanistan, I get furious at the dolts in Washington who are keeping our boys there.
