Time to suck the romantic feeling out of this war
Hard to believe that some people are thinking good things about the Iraq War, saying it's doing good things, it's not.

So, I propose two things.

1. Remind people that we have not 'won' the Iraq War until the reason why we went in is completed. Namely, finding those weapons of mass destruction. If they can't be found, then the war can't be won, it's that cut and dried.

2. Time to think about a permanent memorial to the troops who died in the Iraq War. It should include two things; an admission that our country invaded Iraq because of fear and propaganda, and a reproduction of Guernica, which both a testament to war in itself and a criticism of the Bush Administration and the complicit media, as they both covered up the UN's reproduction of the same painting as they made their case for war in Iraq.
