Today's headline from the print version of The Washington Post:

Bush Says War Is Worth Sacrifice

I'm sure the families of the 1900+ coalition casualties so far would all agree, not to mention the thousands of Iraqis that freedom has marched right over. Nothing says "You've been liberated from oppression, isn't life so much better now?" quite like suicide bombers and assassinations.

I'm somewhat bemused by this. So, he went into a country that was more or less stable, no matter how much he disliked the government, killed a lot of folk destabilizing it, and now it's "worth the sacrifice" to clean up the mess he made? You know, he's got two healthy daughters; I'm sure he could contribute at least one to the cause. She'd make a great maintanance clerk, say.

I hate to start using the V word in comparisons, but damn this is getting close.

As one of those family members, I can whole heartedly say, I do not feel that the sacrifice of my cousin's life was worth the current mess.

sure, lets see if he feels the same way once we put all his family members who are the right age out on the front lines fighting.
