...I don't remember a "shock and awe" in South Africa, nor an armed
invasion. I believe we were invited to the festivities in Yugoslavia,
but I could be wrong...it didn't register high on my attention meter
at the time. But in neither case were we lied to on the level that
Bush did with Iraq. Maybe I was foolish, but I agreed to the
intervention in Afghanistan. But Iraq was, and is, totally beyond the
pale.
