the price of being on top

This will be a short post...primarily cause you'll have to do most of the reading. So sorry for you.

For me, one of the more disturbing realities about the U.S. military presence in the Middle East is the affect that it is having upon our soldiers. While you can sell a country on a cause for war, it's usually the soldiers who fight the war that find out eventually whether or not they've been fed a load of candy or a load of crock. I'll let some of them who were there speak for themselves--you decide what they've had for dinner.

And, finally, if they haven't realized it yet, they soon will--the future of America is all about black gold.

Time to move to Beverly...Hills that is.
