WHY WE'RE THERE

Everyone whose soul isn't a blackened, twisted little husk is celebrating the fact of the Iraqi elections.

I'd like to take a moment to thank those in the Armed Forces of the Coalition of the Willing who paid the highest price to make it possible.

I'd also like to take a moment to point out why we went there in the first place.

We went so that my beloved blogdaughter Michele of Letters From New York City will be the last person in America to have to deal with the dreams and memories that she achingly describes in her post, "Time does not bring relief"

Please.

Read.

Remember.

And know that we fight so this will never happen on our shores again.

1 I read that and wept. I cannot imagine being. I. Just. Can't.

2 I too wept. I don't know that kind of loss, and hope I never do. But understand, and support our country while they make sure it never happens again.
