"Don't matter who did what to who at this point; fact is, we went to war, and now there ain't no going back. I mean, shit, that's what war is, you know? Once you in it, you in it. If it's a lie, then we fight on that lie; but we gotta' fight!"
--Slim Charles, The Wire
One of my more conservative friends the other day said about the Iraq War that it doesn't matter now if we were right or wrong to go in there, that now we're there, we have to stay. I respect that position, but it sounds eerily similar.... And the guy on the show who said the quote above was just a dumb, thuggish gangster.

Gaw, I don't even want to think about any of this "war" shit. It's hard though, my best friends bro just got shipped to Kuwait as a field medic.

That sounds frightening. Such an elitist attitude, not being able to admit wrong doing or having any fault in anything that you do or have done. Someone shoot him.
