"When hectored by a former archbishop of Canterbury on this subject recently, he said: "We have gone forth from our shores repeatedly over the last 100 years . . . and put wonderful young men and women at risk, many of whom have lost their lives, and we have asked for nothing except enough ground to bury them in."

Wow!

Semper Fi

Probably didn't have to -- the commies and socialists didn't have the money or the influence on the dimwits that they have now.

Well, since I'm here, let me be so bold as to add a few more:

- "Innocent people will die": Innocent people are being systematically killed by the regime. We have the moral right to stop it.

- "But we supported Saddam in the past": Yep, we fouled that up. The U.S., more than any other nation, have the moral responsibility to correct our mistake.

- "We gave him weapons and the gas that he used to kill the Kurds": Well, Saddam is still the one that gassed them. And see above -- if we gave him the means of death, it's our responsiblity to eliminate them.

- "It's all about oil": (Alternate response -- get ready for this one!) You're GD right it is! Never mind transportation, you can forget about cheap food, CD's, anything with plastic. Remind Californians of the tales of woe from the natural gas price disaster of 2000.

- "Why don't you join the army?": Thank God we have a volunteer army. I'd be a lousy soldier; the guys who are there are all better than me. They'll do what they do best so I can do what I do best -- that's America.
