Check out the good things we've done for the Iraqis
I'm so saddened by this BBCNews story. It seems that we're in such a quagmire over there. Unable to get out - good people here giving up their lives and time to fight a winless and ill-conceived battle.

And those poor Iraqi people - still in hell. What have we accomplished?

1. Feels like Viet Nam all over again!

2. Maybe that's why it hit me so hard
because I kept hoping we would get out before it felt like VietNam.

Twice in my lifetime is 2X too often.
