Our Returning Soldiers

Apparently hospitals are seeing unusual infections being brought back home with soldiers from Iraq. Sad - the cost of war never seems to end. But then the cost of terrorism never does, either.

We have over 75,000 affected from the first Gulf War. Unfortunately, it is not unreasonable to expect people that will blow themselve up, and blow up their own people, to use biological warfare as a tool.
The Russians and Chinese can supply them with all they need.

Your statement on the cost of war and the cost of terrorisn is right on Dan.

RE: "the cost of war never seems to end. But then the cost of terrorism never does"

Buy a damn map... the 911 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia and the guy who planned it [a Saudi] was living in Afganistan [and likely still is]. We already bombed Afganistan. What we didn't do was fund and staff InterPol and turn it into a real international police force tasked with arresting Islamic anarchists as they attempt to cross borders.

Iraq is unrelated to international terrorism, and the pissed-off Iraqis killing the American invading army are best described as "insurgents" or "resistance" or something other than implying that they are international terrorists/anarchists in the vein of Bin Laden.

The last man standing in Baghdad with a 50-caliber machinegun wins and that won't be the US Military. When the dust settles, puritanical, fundamentalist, pro-Iranian Islamists will be running Iraq.

In five years, the memory of the Iraq war will fade but every poor bastard busted up is this worthless venture will be wheeling themselves around in their weelchairs begging for spare change from people on the street. Good times.
