It is signifcant that we had the same amount of support for the no fly

the war now. Most of europe think it is folly to screw with these
crazy SOBs. It is pretty much just us and the brits.

This is all true. It's interesting, though, that some here can create a
house of cards in their minds which justifies sending our kids over there
because of misplaced valor.

I have come full circle on this thing.
In 1991 I told people this would be a tar baby that we could never
extricate ourselves from. Then I started believing there might be a
nobler cause there but I am back to let's get the hell out.
Nothing we tried to do, came to pass. 15 years later we have exactly
the holy war we said we were going to prevent. Sunnis, Shiites and
Jews are shooting at each other every day. I say come home, try to
stay out of it. There is no peace to be had in that region.

Someone's going to come along and call you a liberal or a traitor. Be
prepared.
