People should try what ever means possible to avoid it at all costs. Life is too precious - all life.
I was always pro-war. I am starting to understand his point of view and I think my mind may be changing.

I wish folks like you father were running things instead of our 'gung ho, macho' politicians. IMO, Iraq, relative to 'real' threats to the US (both currently and during my lifetime), was not even on the radar. It WAS a 'war of choice' as we could have kept Sadaam penned down for years (or forever) at a much lessor cost...
Ronnin, you're still not trying to tie Iraq to 9/11 are you?
