"I have never been prouder to be an American," I began. "I am totally in favor of our mission in Iraq. We're in the House of God right now, Ma'am. God loves it when a dictator falls and a democracy is born. We've got to pull together and succeed, so we can legitimately hope for a new, improved middle east and a new improved world."Thank you, Mr. Farber.

I want France, Germany, Russia and India – for starters – to show the guts of Poland, Albania, and Bulgaria; all of whose fighters' footprints are in the sands of Iraq. I want them to send troops, not with demands, but with apologies for not having been there in the first place, shoulder to shoulder with America in a crusade every bit as righteous as the Allied effort in World War 11. Me too....sigh

"But the people today who say, 'At least Saddam kept the electric grid working' aren't kidding!" Perhaps they are not kidding, but they are wrong. There were daily blackouts in Baghdad, twice a day, when Saddam Hussein was in power.

Great Article:
One small quibble:
When England was threatened with Nazi takeover before America entered World War 11 a torrent of American men went north to Canada to enlist in the fight to destroy Hitler. Is there a southbound torrent now FROM Canada; or a flow, or a trickle, or even one single Canadian volunteering to help us overcome the handiwork of an equally odious dictator? If so, I'm missing it.
According to this web page , Only US Citizens and legal (green-card holding) residents may enlist. No Canadians allowed.
This is of interest as we have a relative who is Canadian, but had legal US residency. He enlisted in the USAF and flew JSTARs surveillance missions in Gulf War II. In addition, we heard that a retired man from a town near where his parents live in Canada received a "regret to inform . . ." visit. His son served in the US Marines.
