Afghanistan may have been necessary at first, but after we chased Taliban
(let 'em get away) into sanctuary in Pakistan, we turned away from it,
unfinished, to go into Iraq unnecessarily, likely based on lies and 'cause
Saddam had tried to kill Boy Bush's Daddy.

That was nice Wilton.
Sadly, we never seem to learn from past mistakes.
I am in the process of reading a trilogy of books about WWII by Rick
Atkinson. The first (An Army at Dawn) is about North Africa, the second
about Italy (The Day of Battle) and the third (The Guns at Last Light)
about Europe.
I skipped the first and read the second and am now on the third. The waste
of young lives in Italy is truly amazing. I am only at the start of the
3rd book - D Day but the whole process does not look to be much better.
I guess WWII was a necessary fight. I doubt that Viet Nam was and I really
have to wonder about the more recent ones like Afghanistan.
Randy
