from this alone i can tell you're a military man. i completely agree with pretty much everything you said in your post. even when i was in junior high during the Clinton debacle, i could see the Fall of Rome happening all over again. history DOES repeat itself, doesn't it? a couple hundred years from now, historians will be studying the fall of the Great American Empire and wondering how we didn't see it coming. i brought this up in a college class once not too long ago, and of course being from Texas, i was bombarded by people claiming i'm "un-American" for questioning our leaders. well forgive me for referring to documented history, but isn't America what it is today because we questioned authority? we told the British we weren't going to their crap, and we stood up for our freedom. and anyone who believes that the war in Iraq is necessary should read See No Evil by Robert Baer. Washington was too concerned with being diplomatic to back what was probably Iraq's only realistic chance at a coup to overthrow Saddam, and now we're paying for their mistake with our soldiers' lives.

Maybe you should read the title again, it's a question...not a statement.

Well the implied answer would be NO.
