Yet another rant about the war

An opinion piece from the NY Times:

Frank Rich

First off, figures don't lie but liars figure. That means that anyone can find any numbers they want to justify any position they like.

That being said, I believe that most of the people in this coutry are sick of the war in Iraq. Now, unless I misunderstand, don't we elect the President to represent us? Doesn't that mean if most of the people think we should do something, shouldn't he do it? If most people believe we should pull out of Iraq, shouldn't we pull out of Iraq?

Let me tell you, as a retired soldier, killing more people doesn't do shit for the people who have already been killed.
