More "tit for tat": who is serving in Iraq
((I had to say that))

On the eve of battle with Iraq not one Republican national representative's child is enlisted in the military, and only one Democrat's:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A5920-2002Dec3.html

As my friend, columnist Mark Shields, pointed out recently, when Congress authorized the use of force in Iraq, not a single member of the House and only one senator had a son or daughter serving in the enlisted ranks of the armed services. And only three House members have children who are officers.
The above is the definition of elitism.
