We as a country won't be over that before the start of the 22nd century, or before the rising waters of the Atlantic Ocean wipes Florida off the map, whichever occurs first.

And the Bush administration was full of war criminals. Yet we never held them or their supporters in congress accountable. We and the rest of the world are still dealing with the repercussions of that war and the torture that was committed in our name, and will continue to do so for years to come.

Do you ever get over the effects of a war?

We are not over dealing with effects of Vietnam.

We are still occupying Europe, Japan, and Korea.
