Republicans and other Hawks say that Americans have no stomach for war, but I think we simply have no stomach for <I>immoral</I> war. There was no menace in Iraq, and most people know that, and the Administration certainly knew that or it would not have gone to the lengths it did to disconnect the American people from the effects of War.daveawayfromhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237313399294302353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13102910.post-19258211380954008662007-04-19T15:38:00.000-05:002007-04-19T15:38:00.000-05:00Very nice.

You...I don't think you are in a manic phase at all. You have retained a sense of perspective.<BR/><BR/>As I said <A HREF="http://the-osterley-times.blogspot.com/2006/07/7-7-one-year-on_07.html" REL="nofollow">on the first anniversary of 7-7</A> here in London:<BR/><BR/><I>Perspective. We must always hold on to our sense of perspective. It came with the thought:<BR/><BR/>"In Baghdad, this would be considered a good day."<BR/><BR/>And there's the truth. We will, rightly, hold our minutes silence today and reflect on our losses. But we should never forget that in Iraq the events that we are commemorating are far too commonplace to ever be remembered with such ceremony.</I>Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14466059072530968330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13102910.post-53908629172926151202007-04-18T21:27:00.000-05:002007-04-18T21:27:00.000-05:00Thank you.
