I read an editorial by Rod Dreher yesterday that did a very good job of encapsulating my feelings on the Iraq war in just the opening lines.

Four years ago, I sat on a bar stool in Manhattan and watched President Bush on TV announce the beginning of war with Iraq. It was, quite honestly, thrilling. Shock and awe, baby. Payback time. The chance that my brother-in-law James, a National Guard officer, might have to go gave me slight pause. But the cause was just, the war was necessary, and that was that.

Or so I thought, back when I trusted in the credibility and competence of my government.

Read the rest for yourself.
