Thank you Senator Lieberman for this:

Last week a series of coordinated suicide bombings killed more than 170 people. The victims were not soldiers or government officials but civilians — innocent men, women and children indiscriminately murdered on their way home from work and school.

If such an atrocity had been perpetrated in the United States, Europe or Israel, our response would surely have been anger at the fanatics responsible and resolve not to surrender to their barbarism.

The Senator goes on to explain in calm, coherent terms why we must complete our mission in Iraq. Whether you agree or disagree with his assessment, it is clear the Senator has the ability to set politics aside for the good of our country.

Update: The Senator speaks today on the Senate Floor.
