Here and There

Remember?

As these formerly high-ranking military officers call for Rumsfeld to step down, I’ve got to wonder if there’s anything to do to save the situation in Iraq. It’s really quite sad, and sad to think that all the civilian deaths on Iraqi’s side, and military deaths on the US’s side, could be for nothing. Though I do like what I’ve seen concerning the idea of splitting the country up into autonomous states (Iraq, not the US, though that’s not a bad one to ponder also).
Meanwhile, ordinary Americans still aren’t being asked to sacrifice at all, five years after 9/11 and three-and-a-half after the start of the Iraq war. I realize this is no revelation, and has been beaten to a pulp in the press (well, some really tiny, insignificant, remote outpost of the press, anyway). It’s just that I’m especially mindful of it after reading these articles.
