The Answer is 'YES'

Found this comment by Bill C. Davis writing about the Kerry flap over at CommonDreams:

But to say the war itself was misbegotten and criminal would invite the question - are you saying the soldiers who died, died for nothing? Are dying for nothing? The question is as impossible as the answer that one dreads giving.

Sorry, Bill, you may dread giving the answer, but we're not.

The answer is a resounding, "Yes!" And the sooner all of us realize that sooner someone will come up with an exit strategy.
