Why was Colin Powell the only ranking member of the Bush cabinet to push so hard for a diplomatic solution? He was the only one that had seen combat. If any of the chicken-hawks (Bush, Cheney, Rummy, Rice, Wolfowitz, etc) had ever been in combat, they wouldn't have had such a hard-on for sending in the troops.
Edit- My brother is over there now. Somewhere north of Baghdad. I hope he comes back on one piece. I'm glad your buddy has you for a friend.
