About this Blog

Euphemisticly christened Operation Iraqi Freedom, this political and military quagmire has not only produced a rift among the people of the United States, but a widening gulf between the United States and the rest of the world. "It is time to come home, America. Time to look within our own borders and within our own souls. There are many questions to be answered and many missions to accomplish right here on our own soil. We cannot force-feed democracy to Iraq. We cannot resolve Iraq's internal issues. It is time for the United States to begin to bring our troops home." -- Senator Robert C. Byrd, speech to the Senate, 2005
