I totally agree with you, Gilly and Jay_ba. War may have been inevitable, but I think Bush went about it the wrong way and too soon. I don't think he cared what the other countries of the world or the UN had to say. He had his mind made up from the get go. I think our government is arrogant as hell. Can you imagine if the leader of another country said, "OK, Bush, you and your family have 48 hours to leave the United States or we attack." One of my nephews and one of my sons, who turns 20 on 3/25, are over there. Another of my sons may be joining them shortly. Like you said, Gilly, "My only hope is that the blood we pay out for this war is worth what we get in return."
