Personal Sacrifice
I'll keep this brief.

I wish I had had an ability to pass a note to Condi Rice when Barbara Boxer indicated that neither of them have to worry about being affected by the war.

I would have said,

"Senator, we are all affected by this war and its outcome. Especially when and if we fail in Iraq. You will begin to feel the fallout when America comes face to face, on its own soil, with these new masters of our destiny."

This is the problem. People in America don't get it yet. I don't think they ever will until it's too late.

Thanks for the read.
