On the recordOctober 16, 2003
Let me state, I believe we have the highest moral high ground possible. And it was not bought even with the hundreds of billions of dollars already spent on our military and on that war. It was built on the over-300 dead that were a result of our desire to free that nation. That is the high ground we stand on. It is high enough. We do not need any more. And to suggest for a moment that asking them to pay just a tiny bit of this cost in some way diminishes that moral high ground is ridiculous. We stand on the highest possible ground: the dead Americans that have died and that are still dying and that probably will die. That is high enough for me.
