We have gotten ourselves into a conflict for which there is no winning, and no way out. We've traded Saddam's containment for anarchy and mayhem. This is not for national defense, but because Bush/Cheney wanted to 'change the world'. We've sent our soldiers, many barely more than kids, into chaos and hundreds have died. For what: a war effort that we can not win. This will all end very badly with instability in the center of the Mideast.
