Adam, a West Point cadet and blogger, who happens to be rather liberal, made a very good point in a comment he made on Wannabeleader's blog. Adam said that our mission in Iraq, rather than being a "peacekeeping mission," is actually a "peace enforcement mission." He says that the insurgents are trying to kill the people that are trying to keep the peace.
Actually, I said, "What we are fighting in Iraq is not a peace keeping mission but, as much as I hate this term, a peace enforcement mission. Moreover, in Iraq we are dealing with insurgencies who are actively fighting the forces trying to impose the peace, which was not the case in the Balkans.

I thought that you did! Are you not? It's ok ifn' you are or you aren't! You are really smart either way!
ReplyDeleteha ha, thanks for the compliment. And, I have to say...this may be the first time in history anyone's felt the need to write that it's "OK" to be straight...
ReplyDeleteIn any case I took out the gay reference in the post! I was kind of hoping you were, just because I think that a gay west point cadet is cool, for some reason it appeals to my right wingedness!
