The Failure of an American "Triumph"

What The Tribune forgot in its editorial and what the writer of the letter forgets in spades is that intentionally killing the wrong people cannot result in triumph.  There is not now, nor could there ever be anything triumphant about what we’ve done in and to Iraq and what we’ve done to the Iraqis. 

It’s up to us to continue to dampen every attempt to give The Regime credit for doing anything positive in Iraq.  What we’ve done there must never be glorified.  We must never let anyone, government official or blind hubristic American “patriot”, get away with saying that anything we did in Iraq, based upon what happened on September 11, 2001 or based upon the lies that were told in support of those actions, was honorable or even necessary.  It most certainly was not triumphant.
