You'll note that I addressed the sincere motives of the soldiers, not the underlying motives for the war, for example, the motives of someone like Pat Tillman who bought Bush's lies, left a lucrative football career and went off to war. Tillman deserves our gratitude. Bush deserves a trip to the Hague.
