Five years in Iraq

As you can imagine, the blogs are full of Iraq and things people said in ignorance and bluster five some years ago and are still saying in ignorance and bluster. Let me add my two cents: war is stupid, really stupid. It took twenty some years for United States citizens to get over the shock of Vietnam and let some cowboy take us into another foreign conflict. May it take forty, make that sixty, no, one hundred years before it happens again. Make that one thousand years and that might be too soon. (Just did some off site calculations and, by golly, that is way too soon. Let it, war, be postponed indefinitely.)
