Here's a novel idea..if you're gonna introduce a resolution supporting war in Congress...
..you are required to have served your country in uniform, preferably in a war.

Maybe there would be less clamoring to bomb, kill, and destroy if that were the case.

I know this will probably never happen, but one can dream, right?

1. No. You must send your children into the battle. Immediately. Into combat.
We know that the pols think that the laws and rules do not apply to themselves, or their families.

Let them make the first sacrifice.

5. remember all the media flak (from the "liberal media", no less)
when Bill & Hillary decided it was not in the country's best interest to have Chelsea be in a public school and had her enrolled in a private school (where she, like many Repukes' kids also placed there, would be safe from kidnapping attempts)?
