E Pluribus Unum

I hate this war that’s coming in Iraq. I don’t think we’ll be proud of it. We Americans are reluctant warriors. We fight when attacked. We didn’t even invade Cuba when we learned the Russians had missiles there.

I oppose this war because it will create a millennium of hatred and the suicidal terrorism that comes with it. You talk about Bush trying to avenge his father. What about the tens of millions of Arab sons who will want to finish a fight we start next spring in Baghdad?
