Doug R,
you cause me to come out of my self-imposed silence with your last post.

1000+ dead further down the line - and is American freedom any more secure today? Has the threat to America disappeared, or has it grown? And has the supply of oil been secured, or has it skyrocketed to past 40 dollars a barrel? What on earth HAS been achieved for the loss of those 1000+ lives?

Or would we have been better off having those thousand-plus brothers and sisters alive today?
