I certainly don't share your pessimism or dare I say paranoia in regards to Iraq. I don't think everything is "just great", but it's not lost already either. I am more worried about us quitting......yet again and the effect that will have worldwide. I do think we can "win the peace" if you will, but there is a price. Apparently a price we are unwilling to pay.....so we'll let the juice run on that for a decade or so and pay a much larger bill later.
All the exaggeration about how bad Iraq is in lost lives and treasure shows complete historical ignorance. If it's wrong on principal then that is a worthy debate, but our sacrifice has been nil so far (in historical perspective). It's the lack of realistic debate that gets me. Which brings me back to the Olberman type debater, 90% emotion and hyperbole so that the 10% goes unheard. (yes I know this goes both ways).
