    As to the Title of the OP: the cost of war is the lives of those doing the fighting, both in terms of their own lost potential and the grief of their families.

    Everything else is temporary.

    And Rex: Freedom isn't Free. Just because it's a slogan, don't for a second discount the wisdom in it. Most countries don't enjoy the level of liberty American's do for one simple fact: it's difficult to maintain.

    Don't bother bandit, he won't understand until it is all gone, then maybe, just maybe he might see the light.

    No because Timberlake will write a song describing how he is "bringing nice back", and the dems will use it. Besides, repubs couldn't be nice if they had to.

    Obviously you don't learn from mistakes... Politicians like this are what cause the mess.

    Let's not also forget the Blow Back reports come from our own CIA not RP. Don't choose your own facts. Actually learn the real ones ;)
