Texas Turns Against the War

The Lone Star State has paid a big price
by Charlie Leck

Here's to Texas. It paid a huge price in the lives of its young people in the war in Iraq. We salute the state and pay our respects to the more than 375 who have died and the more than 2,000 who have been wounded. Only California, a much more populous state, has paid a bigger price.

Now Texans have had enough. A large majority of Texans are saying enough of this nonsense. Welcome aboard Texas! Let's not only put an end to this horror, but let's build a system to prevent it from happening again.
