Amen brother - God bless your wife! The KIA & wounded in this war are too high a price to pay for what has happened over there. One wonders really how much have we achieved to date? How much longer will this useless exercise continue? Many families have had their lifes upset forever. Can we say "it was worth it?" Certainly not like W.W. ll After we do pull out the different Arab factions will continue to fight as you suggested earlier.
