My heart goes out to those poor bastards serving in Iraq. They're just pawns of a war criminal president and his cohorts, all of whom should be hung by their heels at high noon at the Hague.
I'll be a little more sympathetic to the views of those veterans who conducted the protest that the media only concentrates on the negatives the John McCain goes back to Iraq and walks around the supposedly secure Green Zone without a flack jacket or being escorted by 100 armed soldiers and several helicopters. Maybe then we might allow ourselves to think that things are under control and it's all sunshine and roses in cities like Basra or Fallujah or Tikrit.
