On 9/11 over 2,900 Americans lost their lives, a tragedy on every level imaginable.

Our response was to invade Afghanistan. Nearly 600 American soldiers have died in Afghanistan. Instead of ending that conflict quickly and decisively, Bush chose to invade Iraq. As a result, the Taliban and Bin Laden still maintain power and our soldiers are still in harms way.

Since then, over 4,100 American soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq, with over 30,000 wounded. Estimates put the loss of life of Iraqis, citizens not insurgents, at over 100,000. Saddam Hussein is out of power, dead. Five years later, the country is in tatters, no end in sight. "Victory" is a word our own military commander feels won't be appropriate for whatever final outcome is found.

Do you believe those 2,900 people who perished on 9/11 would feel their deaths have been honored? They had no choice, of course, but what do you think?
