    Today, I weep for my Country

    Many thanks for reminding us that some in Congress at least had the courage to speak out against this awful war five years ago. It also makes it easier not to vote for McCain in November. The man either has still not understood what is happening or he caught a case of "staying the course" from Bush. I for one am not impressed by a man who keeps running head-on into a wall just to prove that he is consistent.
