Five Years On

Not much to say about today's anniversary. Five years ago during the shock and awe it was anguishing: "This is a lie." "Those poor people." "We're going to make even more enemies," and "We can't afford this." Now, we live with it, at a distance. It's a subject for political debate, always with caution taken with proper patriotic language. Great as they may be, this war really isn't about our troops, folks. A moment of silence on the costs our leaders have inflicted on Americans and Iraqis.
