I am greatly dismayed at our Senators continued defense of our attack on Iraq.

Based upon an eminent threat to this country, there was no justification for committing our young to harms way. Indeed, the death of many of them is a direct result of false information and deliberate misinformation, and the failure to question that information.

That this administration wanted this war regardless of the presence of weapons of mass destruction other threats should have been evident early on.

Given the state of our insecurity, I can somewhat understand a failure to seriously question the need to attack Iraq. However, now that a better picture has emerged, it is hard to understand the continued adherence to the shaky reasons for that action. A reasonable nation does not shed blood on a premise of some future threat or some idea of cleansing the world. Their support of that war, then and now, is frightening, since it is apparent our Senators could easily commit again on spurious grounds our young to lethal fire.

Personally, I can no longer have faith in their judgment on such grave matters.
