War is difficult notion to comprehend

Cheers! "War is difficult notion to comprehend. It usually means the failure of diplomacy. It also means destruction and killing to achieve peace. Diplomacy fails when one or more parties in dispute use negotiations to achieve greater power, as proven by Hitler and Kaiser Wilhelm and, unfortunately, Saddam Hussein. Like most soldiers, I do not like war.

In March 2003, coalition nations, learned from history prevented potential destruction and genocide world wide. I am aware of those who state that another reason for us being in Iraq is for the oil reserves. Have those pumped gas lately?

I am heartened by the successes in Iraq since March 2003: Iraqis enjoying free speech; squabbling over a constitution; rebuilding commerce without fear of shakedowns; Iraqis thanking me for being there, as if I had anything to do with the liberation from Saddam (I didn't do anything by myself)."
