I don't mean to jump to severely on what I am sure is an off-handed
comment, but I'd point out, *we* are not stuck there. Some 140,000 odd
young Americans are, and death is their daily reminder. To me, if it
weren't for Iraq, Bush would be just another inept President, of which
this country has a long list. However, make no mistake, the "buck" for
this war stops on this Presidents desk. That buck includes 2,500 young
American deaths, some 17,000 American wounded, and some 40,000 Iraqi
civilian deaths.
