Quote of the Day

"While we spend time discussing the philosophical implications of being involved in Iraq, while politicians use 'the war' as a plank in their campaign platform, while the talking heads offer their self important insights as to the why's whereof's and therefore's... let us not forget one thing.

Every day there are families from sea to shining sea who are receiving a knock on their door. Their loved one has been killed on foreign soil.
