Should we continue bursting forth, thrusting OUR sense of democracy without recognizing the limitations of others to even begin to understand?
War is hell they tell me. People die.
Still, I am yet to be convinced that the loss of over 3,100 American lives has been worth the effort in Iraq.
(Notwithstanding Condi Rice's so-called "expertise "in Soviet matters, our knowledge of most foreign countries, and specifically the Middle East, is pathetically short-sighted.)
