In the meantime, we can draw some small solace from how battle-testing medical innovations not only saves lives in Iraq, but may one day do the same stateside. As "60 Minutes" reported: "The life support gear the medical staff uses is so advanced, some of it isn't available in the United States yet."
Wait a minute. . . if we weren't spending with wanton abandon -- whether on the creative destruction of Iraq or the constructive re-creation of our troops -- who knows? The funds for a national health-care program might magically appear. No more casualties in Iraq, no more "sickos" at home.
