War is hell, war is the last resort of all civilized people, but remember this: Without war, there would never have been a United States; Without War, France would now be part of greater Prussia; Without war, Europe would still be goose-stepping to "Deutchland Deutchland Über Alles". There are times when war, as terrible as it is, is necessary in order to prevent even greater horror. I believe this is one of them. This is also one of those times when we, as Americans, must put our political biases aside and show our support for the men and women over there who will, in les than 36 hours, be putting their lives on the line to extend the freedoms we enjoy here to the opressed Kurds and Shiites over there.
