The only question?	Itsdb	10/18/06
The columnist I love to despise most, Molly Ivins, in her column today quoted an article by "conservative in good standing" Richard J. Whalen, who spoke with the 'dissenting generals'. Whalen quotes one general as saying "The only question is whether a war serves the national interest." 1) Is that "the only question?" 2) Does the war in Iraq serve our national interest, and if so, how? Steve P.S. Even though I love to despise her, I do wish Molly the best in her battle against breast cancer.

Yes, it does serve national interest. President Bush has said since the beginning of the war on terror that it is wiser to fight the war in the lands of the terrorists than on our soil. It's a good plan. It has worked. The citizens of 9/11 were NOT volunteers or in any way trained combatants. ALL of our soldiers are. As such they should be honored for their bravery and willingness to put their lives on the line for their country.
