One of the few conservative magazines worth reading, The New American, reports that Henry Kissinger told an Italian reporter in 1972 that the war in Vietnam had "been a useless war." I think if I was one of the 58,000 soldiers killed or one of the 304,000 soldiers...
Bush: “It’s Hard to Connect Iraq and War on Terror!”

Lebanon Destruction Update
I think the last story we reported said that Lebanon's reconstruction cost would be around $2.5 billion -- a number I thought was far too conservative. A 12-story building in my neighborhood would cost at least $20 million to build, if not more. It can't be less than...
