In “I remember the Iraq War”, columnist and staff writer Gil Smart opines:
“…Prevent your knee from jerking in jingoistic time. Resist the urge to think that those who object to war don’t love their country as much as you do. Remember the cost of war, fiscal and otherwise: More than 32,000 Americans wounded, nearly 4,500 killed. Nearly $1 trillion spent.
“Was it worth it? No?
“Remember that. Remember it always.
“For if you forget — I guarantee you, some day we’ll do it all over again.”
WATCHDOG: So long as the military – industrial complex has its way, we will.
Three wags of the tail… and then some. Smart should be writing for the New York Times or Washington Post. But we are glad we have him here.
