Out of Iraq

Ever since I heard that the last U.S. troops had left Iraq, I wanted to write a blog post.  But nothing came.  Words failed me.  I thought Chez might take a stab at it; in fact, I was counting on him to.  But he's got other stuff going on so I'm cutting him a break. 

I'm ancient enough to remember when the nation held a moment of revernce with only church bells breaking the silence when the Vietnam War ended.  But there's been no word of anything like that this time. 

Then, this morning, I read Tom's post (December 21: "Out of Iraq") and realized that I don't need to write my post after all.  Tom's done it.  And done it good.

There's nothing more to say.
