War ends, war continues

The Bush war is over. The last American troops left Iraq today. "We won," one of the departing soldiers said. So who lost? Perhaps the thousands of Iraqi civilians who were killed were among the losers. So were the 4400 American troops who died there to... to... remind me again.

Meanwhile, the Obama war continues. Crazy Karzai says the "private security forces" -- read "mercenaries" -- must be out of his country within four months. That would leave... let's see... the Afghan National So-called Army, and... and... American troops?

UPDATE: Aug. 21
Walt asked who won and who lost? Patrick Graham, writing in today's Globe and Mail says everybody lost and nobody won. Click here to read his excellent analysis of the confusion, lies, fear and death.
