No, this does not make me proud. It fills me with sadness. Sadness that such acts are necessary in this world. Sadness me to know that a man was placed in harm's way for a war perpetuated by cowardice and selfishness and was forced to defend himself. Sadness that 20 men's lives have been snuffed out because of this, and people rejoice. Sadness that almost 2000 American soldiers will never again see their homes. Sadness that almost 30000 Iraqis will never again open their eyes. Sadness that we have been tricked by the lies of a government who would send men across the sea to die in order to achieve their desires. And sadness that the enemy that we fight has been fed even worse lies by the dictatorship that controlled Iraq for so many years. No, this is not something to be proud of. This should be a wake-up call to just how evil war is. It is death and destruction, nothing but an ending of life. And for what? For pride. For greed. For abused egos. For deceit and deception that has had the highest cost. There is no glory in war. Oh
