Another Thousand Lives

How long can this go on?
Saddam is dead. The weapons of mass destruction were a mirage. More than 3,000
American G.I.s and scores of thousands of Iraqis have been killed. Voters in
the United States have made it clear that they no longer support American
involvement in this exercise in sustained barbarism. Incredibly, the U.S.
military itself is turning against the war.
And yet the president, against the counsel of his commanders on the ground,
apparently is ready to escalate to send more American lives into the fire he
set in Iraq.
In a devastating critique of the war, the newsweekly Army Times led its current
edition with the headline: About-Face on the War After 3 years of support,
troops sour on Iraq. The article detailed a Military Times Poll that found,
for the first time, that more troops disapprove of the presidents handling of
the war than approve of it.
Only a third of the service members surveyed approved of the presidents
conduct of the war, while 42 percent disapproved. Perhaps worse was the finding
that only half of the troops believed that success in Iraq was likely.
