Finally, some fresh public thinking and discussion about the U.S. role in Iraq. Every citizen should be familiar with it; it's a source of light on a topic that sorely needs illumination.

Laughing at war? Yes, Joseph Heller literally flies above the brutality and horror of his WW II experience to show us the pathos, humor and aburdity of war.
This is a book I enjoy re-reading every few years. How did Heller find so much to parody in his war experience? I am sure that veterans of all wars, regardless of their allegiances, might find some degree of reality amidst the absurdity.
