Stain on Congress
The following is the text of an email sent to David Shuster, MSNBC comentator, in response to his post on the MSNBC website Feb 4, 2005:
From the beginning of Bush's great adventure in Iraq, my wife and I agreed (we didn't agree on Afghanistan...I for, she against) that everyone in favor of the adventure including Bush, Rumsfield (shock and awe), certain media (especially the "fair and balanced" one), and members of congress treated the invasion like a video game, where the "good" guys confront the "bad" guys, and no one really gets hurt.
Your comments on members of congress' lack of courage and their diminishing the Iraqi's real courage is right on! But what can we expect, congress is so self involved that I guess it's not unexpected that they will continue to dribble all over themselves, staining their office in the process.
By the way, how about a constitutional amendment that would require that before a president could authorize, or a member of congress could vote for, an act of war that at least one immediate family member must be on active duty! Ha - I think we would see war when it was truly necessary.
