Once upon a time in the year 2003 we didn’t go to war in Iraq.
Once upon a time over a dozen years ago, the United States was tempted to go to war with a country that had been obnoxious thanks to its obnoxious leader Saddam Hussein: Iraq. But cool heads were asked to figure out whether we should go to war, and the cool heads decided we didn’t need to go to war, and probably should not go to war. The result was that a high school friend of my kids who was proud to be an American won a medal in speed skating in the Olympics, representing a country he loved.
