Do you mean this one?? That's more than a couple of days ago and has nothing to do with Iraq. Message 17190872 Maybe it's this one, though I had to do some digging to find it, since you wouldn't. suntimes.com And if this is the article you're referring to, it's apparent that feel nothing is worth fighting for. Greeley even states that fighting Nazi Germany and Japan were not "just" wars, but necessary ones. Maybe you'll be willing to expound on just why WWII was a "necessary war".. After all, didn't we "force" Japan into attacking us by cutting off oil and scrap metal exports to their empire because of their actions in China? I mean... WWII must be our own fault, right?? I also hope you'll explain why, when the casualities the US suffered at Pearl Harbor were primarily military, that war was more "necessary" than one where thousands of civilians were deliberately targeted (potential casualities, had they struck hours later when the WTC was filled to capacity with workers, would have been upwards of 20-30,000)?? Is there no "necessity" in thwarting Islamic extremism and expansionism?? Hawk
