Robert C. Byrd - Nov. 20, 1917 – June 28, 2010

"But, this Administration has directed all of the anger, fear, and grief which emerged from the ashes of the twin towers and the twisted metal of the Pentagon towards a tangible villain, one we can see and hate and attack. And villain he is. But, he is the wrong villain. And this is the wrong war..." March 19, 2003, the day we stupidly invaded Iraq.

Say what you want to say about Robert Byrd, but no one was more right than he when it came to our foolish invasion of Iraq. It was, "not a war of necessity, but a war of choice". And sadly, over 80% of our nation were proven dead wrong and we should have listened.
