Yeah. I mean, I'm excited and appreciative of what was done in Iraq. To me though, our presence in Iraq is really starting to parallel what happened in Vietnam. Many of our troops are getting picked off like flies; and while I really think that the goal was good, I think that there are a lot of soldiers over there that really don't appreciate the way things are being done, and I really can't blame them. It's a great accomplishment, no doubt about it. But for some reason, it just feels like something much bigger is about to begin.

At any rate, yay. I guess I've never felt any surge of patriotism (call me un-American if you like). At any rate, I'm not going to argue the politics of it. Everybody's got an opinion. I respect what was done, and I think that's all I'm going to be responsible for in terms of this.
