Culture of Life?

I watched with great interest yesterday as President Bush scurried back to Washington to sign a law to "save" Teri Shiavo. As sad as it is, Mr. Bush is some 15 years too late.

Perhaps that time would have been better spent formulating a plan to withdraw from our pre-emptive wars and rethinking the mistaken belief that democracy can be brought at the point of a gun.

You see, I don't think we can have a "culture that promotes life" while fighting wars of choice...against an "enemy" that presented no threat.

As Mr. Bush insinuated himself into a sad family tragedy that has played through the court for years, at least one more American died, on his orders, in Iraq.
