in line and became appeasers. Are any of THEIR kids over there? What have they done to put their money where their mouths are, if indeed they really do think this war is worth their support?

It's a VERY fair question. Maybe if it's pushed on enough of our pink tutu pals, it will set some of them straight and help them wake up. If you support the war, then PROVE IT. SEND YOUR KID.

I think there's only one member of Congress who has either a son or a nephew over there - Duncan Hunter of California (a republi-CON).

And if they don't have kids, why aren't they enlisting themselves? I mean, some of the casualties over there from the National Guard and Reserves are in their 40's and 50's. They aren't all kids.

It's a VERY worthwhile question. BRING THE WAR STRAIGHT HOME - DIRECTLY TO THEIR OWN DOORSTEPS. It's easy for them to pontificate because they don't have a dog in this hunt. Maybe they need one.

THEY should be HELD ACCOUNTABLE, too, because they enabled this war. It IS as much their fault as it is the bushies' and their friends'. They were positioned to be able to stop it, or at least slow it down. And they did nothing but capitulate. There should be a price for that.

I say start, whole hog, with the republi-CONS, and then work the Dems in, too.

In fact, that should be a new battle cry for our side: If you think it's such a noble war, WHY AREN'T YOU OVER THERE FIGHTING IT?!?!?!? WHY ISN'T YOUR KID SACRIFICING FOR THIS "NOBLE CAUSE"? And that should be said to ANY of the "yay-war" crowd, whether they're in public office or not. They don't deserve to get out of this one for free.
