Mary, You asked: "Were we so naive as to think that?" NO, we were not that naive. And we told President bush, and the rest of his administration, that it was going to be a quagmire. But, in spite of what we said, again and again, he made the decision, by himself, to start this stupid war.

Now that he has brought this war about, we are in a terrible situation. Our credibility is ruined, certainly for the rest of my life. There is NO ANSWER to this situation. And it's all because that stupid man in the white house decided that we should have this war. Bob
