*I am reminded of Linus's exclamation that he loved mankind--it was people he couldn't stand.
**just based on the basic wrongness of the concept, without bringing in issues like poor strategy and insufficient pre-planning, inadequate equipment, KBR/Halliburton, the CPA, the failures of the military hospitals and the VA, and so on and so forth.
