Iraq anniversary...

Today is the 5th anniversary [should we actually be celebrating an anniverary concerning this?] of the shock and awe beginning of the conflagration in Iraq. I think the true shock and awe is that it is still going on today, and the expense has been too great in both money and manpower wasted. This has turned into a greater quagmire than Vietnam with the major difference being its basis on the religious - christian, sunni, shia - versus ideology - communism & democracy. Though some may say there is very little different with the underlying arguments of both.
