Stephen thank you for your write up. Very insightful. I may venture to say the Iraq war isn't the only war that makes "a mockery of American values." The list of such actions is large, and unfortunately growing. The Military Industrial complex and our political leadership has managed to ensure war actions of our government touch only a tiny portion of the US population, excluding of course, the tax burden placed on all of us.
Thanks for the comment Qaisar. I agree that America has historically engaged in wars that have made us Hippocrates. I don't think any person would disagree with military action that directly defended our country. I outline in my book the reaction of someone who lived through the chaos of the Global War on Terror and how it directly affected myself and others. I would encourage you to pick up a copy and share it with others so that they can have an insite into the kind of ideas we are projecting into the world.
