Four Years On

The four year anniversary of the war in Iraq has come and gone, and I can't help but wonder how we let our President get us into this shit. For the love of God WWII and the Korean War didn't last as long as this mess. What has been accomplished other than the erosion of American influence around the globe? The leadership role that we had in the war against Islamic terrorism after 9-11 has been squandered with American and Iraqi lives and massive amounts of our tax dollars. I feel like most Americans were asleep at the wheel when the ramp up to this war was going on, and thats what the administration was banking on. I, and I'm sure many of the regular readers of this blog yelled and screamed and wrote letters and made calls and sent emails and attended protests, but back then we were in the minority, not so anymore, its just sad that it took so many lives and so much treasure to arrive here today.
