Don't be silly. Comparing the fiasco in Iraq to conditions in Chicago is an
act of willful self delusion. Does it make you feel better about the cost
of the war?

The word "Chicago" is a metaphor for ALL American inner cities.
Personally, I'd rather be spending money in the Middle East -- the
source of our economic life-blood -- than in the inner cities our own
citizens choose to create on a daily basis.

How many Islamist terrorists are being created in Chicago? How many U. S.
troops are being killed every week in Chicago? How many $billions are being
added every month to the federal deficit?

You haven't spent much time there, have you, Dan? The criminal
element in every American inner city are easily on a par with
terrorists -- and they probably have better weaponry.

How many billions are being added to the federal deficit by the inner
cities? Surely you jest! Lyndon Johnson started the fiasco with his
vaunted "War on Poverty" in the 1960s -- until now fully 2/3rds of our
federal (that's FEDERAL) budget is spent on "entitlements"...

The Iraq war is a disaster created by fools. These idiots have gotten our
country stuck in a hopeless mess with no good way out. They deserve to be
held accountable for the harm they have done: the time for excuses and
rationalizations is long past.

Let's see...how long were our troops stationed in the Axis countries
after the end of World War II... Oh, wait -- you mean they haven't
left YET? I think the fools who got us into that never-ending mess
should be held accountable!
