McCain Assails Democrats on Iraq
Yeah, I know -- he suffered terribly in a war that was, fromthe start, nothing but lies (the Gulf of Tonkin imaginary attack), destruction of lives and honor, and just plain old-fashioned bullshit (Robert MacNamara)
And he's from a military family with a distinguished tradition.
And he really wants his love for America to be justified by the possibility that SOME war during HIS lifetime is more than just a stupid infliction of hideous pain and waste of lives organized and ordered by video game fantasists and greed-crazed sociopaths.
But, it's sad ... it's obvious to almost everyone but him that, in the words of Alan Rickman's character at the end of the movie January Man:
"So many people are just ... finished."
