You quote yourself? Why? Are you a historical figure or even a person 
of note?

Actually, many people calling for action to deal with Saddam over the 
past 15 years or fewer years *are* or were enlisted or have family 
members who are enlisted. Many have specifically enlisted over the last 
15 months. I know one personally. 20+ years? What a meaningless and 
convenient number you choose in your "quote". You need a history lesson 
on the Bath movement. Where do you get your misinformation?

And a pall upon the land;
But the People in their weeping
Bare the iron hand;
Beware the People weeping
When they bare the iron hand.
