Disagreeing with the war effort is one thing (I personally don't think we should have gone into Iraq inthe first place), but to call us a nation of murderers (and that is based on the efforts of our soldiers through our nation's history) is quite another. The referenced Mr. Wolfrum has make no exceptions in US history, not for WWII, WWI, or even the Left's own no-win wars of Korea and Vietnam.
America has done both wrong and right. We treated the Native Indians and blacks terribly. And unfortunately we have taken our wrongs too lightly. He has that right. But the summary is completely wrong. At the same time we also opened the doors for a freedom that few have known in history. And we stopped some of the most evil dictators in history. We are, like all nations, repleat with contradictions. If Mr. Wolfrum can find a better place to live, I hope he tells us about it after he gets there.
BlueGal, Wolfrum, Crooks and Liars, John Amato -- apologize to your service men and women, and the nation. We're waiting. (Why do they wonder that they are so often branded as Leninists?)
