Letter to the Grandkids: How Did We Get to War With Iraq?

There is a coalescing of concern, worldwide. The fight is not going to be easy. These are not nice people we're battling and they play with real guns and bullets and don't mind using them. But your Gran and Gramps, like so many others, feel they have to fight to restore our Constitutional protections, and on behalf of peoples everywhere. We aim to bring back the light to our world made dark by shadow forces who have far too little love in their minds or in their hearts.

My major concern is how to bring more democracy to the world. Bush's way is not it, Saddam being an evil dictator doesn't help when you try to oppose this war. There has been a lot of money and long time planning put into this operation. Can it be stopped because just because the people don't want it? What will be the cost?
