We did the invasion so smart there were only a couple hundred casualties instead of thousands. If there had been thousands, then the hundreds that died in the year aftermath would have not seemed so bad by comparison.

Still my fears for catastrophes before the war have so far been much, much less for the invasion itself, and about what I expected for the aftermath.

What I didn't expect, and will forever do now, is something my husband warned me about right after 9/11.

He thought it'd take the Dems only a month or two to get their footing and start attacking America and backing our enemies again. Actually it only took a couple weeks.

From now on I know the enemy at home is even more craven than I thought. And that most people haven't a clue what it means to SUPPORT the troops, rather than backstabbing their sacrifices.

With Bill Clinton I learned that "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and you wouldn't believe how many people that is!", but this latest lesson is even more heart-breaking.

It's as though they had to wait for the national anthem to finish before they could bend down to pick up more rocks to throw.
