First Lady Laura Bush was on the Today Show the other day. She wanted to clarify that the primary victims of the war in Iraq are not the soldiers, their families, or the Iraqi people.

You should know that nobody suffers from the Iraq war like the President and his wife. In a response to a question regarding the suffering of the American people:

MRS. BUSH: Oh, I know that very much. And believe me, no one suffers more than their president and I do when we watch this, and certainly the commander in chief, who has asked our military to go into harm's way.

MS. CURRY: What do you think the American public need to know about your husband?

MRS. BUSH: Well, I hope they do know the burden, the worry that's on his shoulders every single day for our troops. And I think they do. I mean, I think if they don't, they're not seeing what the real responsibilities of our president are.

I guess she's right.
