Stop the Madness

The war in Iraq continues. Yesterday seventy Iraqi citizens were blown up in suicide car bombings, today another thirty were killed. At least four American soldiers were killed yesterday. When a war of choice goes this terribly wrong, it needs to be ended without delay. If this were a war forced upon our country, as World War II seems to have been, we should fight it through to victory. But when we invade a country, unprovoked, as we did Iraq in 2003, and it becomes a national nightmare, our government must admit its mistake and bring our soldiers home, out of harm’s way. I would campaign for George W. Bush’s impeachment if it didn’t mean we would then also have to impeach Dick Cheney. What a mess!
