Where's Waldo

I know I'm not the first (nor, I hope, the last) to say it but, the fact that they found and captured Saddam does not justify the war. Yes, he has done many horrible things and, yes, it is good that he has been captured. But, how many countless innocent lives, American lives, Iraqi lives, were lost in the process? And does the administration know how to safely put the pieces of a demolished nation back together? And, by the way, wasn't the original goal to find the weapons of mass destruction? Has the fallen leader lead us to them? Have we all forgotten about Afghanistan? Where is Osama? Wasn't this war against terror supposed to root him out? And, how is the United States doing in putting that nation back together? Our president has a very short attention span. The rest of us, however, have a responsibility to keep our attention focused.... focused on the shortfalls of the administration, focused on the commitments our country took on, focused on the harms that were done in our name.... And, we have to remind each other to keep that focus, so that when next November rolls around we are not blinded by this victory.
