I have many cousins headed to the Gulf - and two of my kids are due to sign the paperwork to join the Air Force next month. I have to say, now that the truth obout just how much a monster Ritter is has hit the public, damaging his credibility with the rabid left-wingnuts who are his biggest supporters, I now have hope that they will all come home safe and whole.

I too hope that the Mideast may someday learn the value of peace and representative government. Neither of which will they ever have as long as Saddam is terrorizing the region. You're right: we don't want their oil. If this were about oil, we'd be drilling through the glass desert to get at it right now.

Thank Heaven for President Bush!

Saddam is terrorizing the region

Since Desert Storm, how so? Our war is against the Saudi created Islamists, spread over 60 countries.

Iraq is part of that cabal, and must be dealt with, preferably first. But Saddam is not a mullah, which are much more dangerous because of wanton 'suicide' attacks on Western culture.

Read Rage and Pride by Oriana Fallaci, if you haven't yet.
