...left Iraq before the new government was ready to take over all the duties we now perform. Would the Middle East situation worsen or not? Would the U.S. be seen as weak and thereby become more vulnerable to attack both at home and abroad? We must see our mission through in Iraq. And I say this as a father whose son will be entering the Army in 2007 and could go to Iraq before the war is over.

...when it veers into the dangerous and muddy waters of class. As most everybody knows, the people who fight America’s wars tend to come from America’s most disadvantaged groups. This gives a populist tinge to a lot of militarist rhetoric. The troops whose mission I undermine every time I take the silver spoon out of my mouth long enough to speak are the same huddled masses my fellow liberals and I claim to be so concerned about when the subject is fiscal policy. More importantly, my decision—and the decision of other...
