I can only hope Stephen Harper will chip away at the past, the cabal of the Liberal government.

The headlines have already started.

Why are we in Afghanistan?

Why are we not in Khartoum?

I think its the saddest thing in the world to realize that ultimately, it comes down to dollars and "sense" (cents).

"Win the battle, lose the war."

When I was young, I didn't understand that quotation.

Older now, I understand it. Accepting it is something else.

War sucks.

When the manure hits the spreader, it depends on the
ground its going to fertilize, who will water it.
