Serving As The Captain: A Memoir About Things That Were Happening During The Iraq War
As this book goes to press, the people of Iraq are enduring a bloody insurrection. God willing, it will end soon and peacefully so the country may settle into relative calm until the next storm.
In this country, the debate over Iraq tends to be at the lowest emotional level possible, a debate that is self-righteous on both sides.
Nevertheless, any of us can justifiably ask, What did we do for them?
We gave the Iraqis a chance and an opportunity to build their own country anew, without tyranny, but we could never do it all for them.
When the Constitutional Convention of 1787 was closing, a woman approached Benjamin Franklin and asked him, Well, Doctor, what have we got ... a republic or a monarchy? Franklin replied, A republic if you can keep it. What we gave Iraq was liberation from tyranny, if they can keep it.
