No, that is called stupidity. A true patriot, when the folks in charge

rub comes when it is a situation where there are no good answers, just
choices among varying degrees of bad ones. The US knocked over the
bucket in SWA, so they are sort of obligated to help clean it up at
this point. Saddam was scum, and deserves to burn in hell. But why
exactly was he OUR problem to solve, again?

As the Color Sergeant in "Zulu" said: "Because we're here, lad. There's no
one else. Just us. Now face to the front, mark your target when he comes.
That's a good lad."



But we weren't there. We took ourselves there. The "why" has yet to be
explained to me.
