Ive just read the book We Are Soldiers Still by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore and Joe Galloway. You may remember the movie staring Mel Gibson We Were Soldiers Once and Young based on the book also authored by Lt. Gen Moore. I believe strongly in what the General states in his chapter On War about the past decade of wars our country has been involved with. About a war started by a few men willing to proceed into Iraq on nothing but lies and those defense contractors making billions; those key players being President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. General Moore states, Those who brought us to this war with such certainty about how easy and quick it would end should be assigned to write long essays on these words from Erasmus: Dulce bellum inexpertis (war is delightful to those who have no experience of it). George W. Bush should have old Erasmuss words carved over the entrance to the $500 million Bush Presidential Library in Dallas. This in no way should be thought of as praise to our current leadership, or lack thereof. PEACE!
