I totally agree with John!

During Vietnam King George II was flying F 102's to parties in Washington to
"fight for his country" . Perhaps his wartime experiences moulded his vision
of how easy it  would be to bring "democracy to Iraq."

It is also interesting to note how sanitized the war photos/videos of our
war in Iraq are compared to Vietnam.. No dead bodies, napalmed children or
street excecutions are ever allowed in the mainstream media.(unless leaked
via the web).

Gasoline prices will soon  hit $4.00 per gallon. Wall-Mart will be selling a
reliable "made in China"  M9 and as always, the rich will get richer and the
poor will pay for this and the next war with their blood and pennies.
Perhaps someone will covering it with a Leica.

I missed the draft by one year.
