The North pays for the wars with money; the South pays for the wars with blood. Always the same story.

Wars' end is the real goal

We have almost 200,000 troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. President George W. Bush found it difficult to bring them home. Now we find that our new president, who built his political base on an anti-war message, is also finding it difficult to bring them home. Ending wars is much more difficult than starting wars.

More discussion of how to stabilize Afghanistan and Iraq to the point where we can bring our troops home would be nice.
