    Katrina, I agree with your comments 100 percent. Bush and the US should have never invaded Iraq. I often read The Nation for debating points with my conservative friends at breakfast. I need an answer to the question what will happen to the normal, average Iraqi who just wants to go to work, raise a family and enjoy a peaceful life if we pull out and civil war tears everything apart. I want us out but I feel caught in the quicksand of caring for the people we gave this war to.

    Also, I live about four blocks from the boyhood home of Sinclair Lewis who wrote a great deal for The Nation. I wonder what he'd say about this war.
