Prepositions

Prepositions or pre-positions? Either way, the choice of prepositions makes a world of difference when one speaks of the albatross of war or power or freedom or tyranny or terror or dreams.

A local Congressman, Rep. James Walsh, R-Onondaga, a former supporter of the war to and in and for and at Iraq, now calls for a change, saying,

"We've done enough. No country has done more than we have for Iraq. . . . I think we have given enough."

For?

For Iraq?

Does not an ocean of tears shed by Iraqis cry:

To !

To Iraq !

Pax vobiscum.

It's that kind of idiocy that gives America a bad name. What has been done in the name of 'justice' in that country is utterly shameful.
