Alahusker and his daughter deserve my thanks and all American's thanks for their service to our nation. Indeed this country will be at the end of our great experiment if we ever reach the point that some of our best and brighest are unwilling to sacrifice for the common good. I'm also sorry you take offense at my take on Iraq. True, we were told that Saddam had WMD, was plotting with Osama, was involved in 9-11 and in general was a direct, imminent, and immediate threat to to you and me! We now know that the intelligence estimates cut both ways in contrast to what we were all being told as fact. We now know that some administration members tried to slow down the rush to war but were rebuffed by the V.P. and his inner circle. We now know the intell was cooked and cherry picked to justify a questionable war which took our concentration off the real culprets. Of course Saddam was a brutal killer who should have been taken down. It is tragic that that it required 35000 brave Americans to die or be maimed along with tens upon tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis.
