"...was starting this misbegotten war in the first place."

Obviously you think so. And you say it over and over again- I must say it's a tad bit boring at this point.

"As far as I am concerned, every American who voted for George Bush should be forced to visit Iraq and experience first hand the mess that idiot in the White House has created. Pictures and videos alone don't portray the truth nearly well enough."

Of course you think so. You seem to have a tendency support any notion of oppressing people.

I am curious, should these people be given a ticket and provided lodging on US govt's tab and thereby strongly invited to go?
Or how about a tax break for those who voted for George Bush for the trip to Iraq?

"A nation that doesn't want it's people to witness the flagged draped coffins of its own soldiers who have died on our behalf is no nation at all. "

A nation should honor the death of it's brave soldiers, and any nation that doesn't probably doesn't deserve to be a nation- and certainly not such a great nation as America.

But this is all very interesting, I wonder if you could address my topic?
