(Iraq) War is Over

(Iraq) War is Over. We’ll be arguing about this war for a long, long time. For now, just for a moment, let’s set aside the politics of this war. For now, let’s forget about which side of the war debate we are on. For now, remember that those who came back healthy deserve our respect. Remember that those who came back mentally or physically injured deserve our help. Remember that those who paid the ultimate price deserve to rest in peace. We can debate later. For now, let’s wish everyone a safe trip home. (WAG)
