Five Years

Every year since the Iraq invasion, I've kept track. Thousands of lives both Iraqi and American lost, billions (trillions?) of dollars spent, and not much to show for it. Listening to NPR this morning, I heard a man talking about his regret in getting his wife pregnant in Baghdad. He worries daily for the safety of his family. I understand that Saddam Hussein was a dangerous man. I agree that some action was needed.

But, the action that was taken leaves much to be desired.
