Thanks, JanusCole. I share both your sadness and sense of responsibility. And I believe what George Bush has done is criminal -- commit our troops without the commitment and political courage on his own to lead them and us through the pain to the right end. Did he really think it wouldn't be painful? Did we? He will sell them out and sell out the Iraqis under the cover of some temporized and fraudulent "victory", because he is a weak and shallow fake, in the words of CS Lewis, another "chestless" man, a walking symptom of our post-modern era. But they all are, aren't they? Who is not?
