>Men are dead and many more without limbs and wounded for life...

That is a great sin and I don't use the word lightly. This aspect of our foreign policy really bothers me the most. But to big thinkers you must break a few eggs to make an omelet, no? What's a few thousand lives and limbs when greatness calls?

We measure "greatness" of our Presidents on the number of body bags they fill and "programs" they pass when we should measure them on how many they don't fill and how many laws they don't sign. I nominate George Washington, Grover Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge, Old Ike, and Ronald Reagan as Great Presidents based on that criteria!

We are in Iraq to exercise control over the oil fields. It's an incremental kind of thing. Do you disagree with protecting the free flow of oil?
