What's War Got to Do with It?

Ania Egland releases a response to the Move On Baby Alex ad:

Over forty years ago, President John F. Kennedy, a staunch opponent of communism and a war-hero himself, promised this country that the United States would never start a war. President George W. Bush broke that promise with his ill-considered and unjustified invasion of Iraq. Defending this country and Europe from a large and hostile Communist regime is one thing; wasting blood and treasure on a policy blunder is quite another. Aren't our husbands and children — and Ms. Egland's — too valuable to have their lives cast way in the tradition of Balaclava, Gallipoli, and the Somme?
