They wrapped themselves in the flag and committed unspeakable acts in the name of the People, then called anyone who said "hey, wait a sec, is this really the right thing to do?" the equivalent of Nazi appeasers or "morally confused" (Donald Rumsfeld, August 2006)

One side sycophants, the other base cowards. Meanwhile we have 4300 and counting of the best and brightest of American and Coalition men and women dead for absolutely nothing. Friends. Neightbors. Sons and daughters, Mothers and fathers. As dead as if they were just rounded up and deleted over the course of six years.
