Pro...you crack me up. Let's review. the "left" as you call it did not think driving to Baghdad was a good idea in the first place. Why? Because they did not believe Saddam was an imminent threat, were not convinced that he had WMD...or would use 'em if he had 'em. Et. etc. etc. You can't lay the blame for one lost life or one stupid failed military blunder or one ignorant policy choice on the "left". It is all the decisions of GEORGE W. BUSH and his administrattion. By the way, like you I am pro-life. I don't support abortion...but I don't think killing iraqis and piling them up like cordwood is an analogy someone who claims to treasure life should claim is (was) an option. Why is an innocent Iraqi less valuable than an innocent fetus? And, believe me...argue all you want over why we went into Iraq...plenty of innocent Iraqis, including children, have joined the 2300 plus Americans who have paid the ultimate price. We did not need to go into Iraq for the reasons the President gave us, on the timetable he set, in the manner he executed it. No friggin' way. But now we own it. Shia and Sunni pound each other while outsiders toss in incentives for the violence to continue. And, again, it did not have to be this way. I don't see joyous free Iraqis yet. When I do, I'll think about the cost and the choices and maybe recondsider. I don't think I'll see it soon.
