Thanks skyman. I'm sure wives and husbands and parents didn't send their loved ones to work on 911 to die either. Same goes for all of our citizens who have died at the hands of terrorists around the world. This article says it all. At least W is actively trying to keep this from happening again......more than I can say for,ahem, the previous administration and I'm sure that every precious soldier that dies for this cause affects him deeply.
The classic reply to this question comes from a paraphrase of Gen. Patton:
I, Pres. Bush, Bill O. doesn't send my sons , your sons or anybody's sons into battle in Iraq, or anywhere to die or sacrifice their lives for their country or any other cause no matter how just. We send them into battle to make the enemy sacrifice THEIR lives and the lives of THEIR sons for their principles. Our military trains and fights to kill and destroy the enemy; NOT to die and sacrifice their lives.
