I don't think it serves anyone to say, 'I told you so', to people who've been struck by such a senseless tragedy - no matter what their political beliefs may be.

Three years of listening to the warmongers' gassy over-exuberances about purple fingers and freedom (tm) (let's not even get into the whole circus regarding the casus belli) and now they think we're going to put up with their handwringing and overwrought despair?<BR/><BR/>Dream on.
