Middle East fears broken Iraq
When you travel around the Middle East and ask people about how the war in Iraq has affected them you get a combination of regret, anger and trepidation.
Meanwhile ...
On the flight deck of the enormous US aircraft carrier the USS Eisenhower in the Gulf this week, warplanes were being shot out of the steam catapults on the flight deck with engines that roared and screamed so loudly you felt it in your sinuses, teeth and jawbone.
"Listen to it," one of the officers told me when the warplanes were launched and streaking up the Gulf to Iraq.
"It is the sound of freedom."

...and they love the smell of napalm in the morning...
Hanna - You know what they love the smell of in the morning? Their mother's waffles and syrup, the smell of a freshly mowed lawn, or coffee brewing in their kitchens back home.
These are men and women, doing their job. Shame on you for making such a statement. What sacrifices are you willing to make? I'll bet you felt so smug when you clicked the "submit" button.
And for the original poster, HELLOOOOOOOOOO, this is what carriers do, every day, whenever they are deployed, in peace or in war. They launch jets using catapults. It's why they are called AIR CRAFT CARRIERS!
