"The authorities will deal with Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army psychiatrist who is accused of bringing the nightmare of mass murder into the sanctuary of a military base on American soil. But the rest of us need to look very closely at the stress beyond belief that is being endured by so many other men and women in the armed forces — men and women who are serving gallantly and with dignity, who have not taken out their frustrations on one another, and who deserve better from the broader society."

Let's either end the wars or bring back the draft. Our volunteer soldiers need help and it should come from the general population. A draft might bring this madness closer to the citizens of this great country who went shopping after 9/11 and create the demand for an end to the wars.
Pay for the wars with a tax increase instead of credit card. Let us demand accountability for our actions.
