"The first thing I would do would -- I would end the war in Iraq. I`d just kind of click it."

The remote control doesn't "solve" such problems. Hitting Fast Forward just "skips" all the things that happen in-between. From the commercial, the main guy misses seeing his daughter grow up.

The "war in Iraq" (what he really means is US presence in Iraq) could be over but there are several ways that could happen, stay the course and eventually "leave" (as with Germany and Japan), or cut and run (which could have several outcomes, a civil war or peace).

We ALL want the war/presence to end. Some just want it more immediate than the others.

I cried on 9-11-2001. I knew that day that we would be drawn into a longterm global war. The Cold War was fought around the globe (and virtual annihilation almost happened several times). I want us to win the war, not just acheive peace in our lifetime. The next generation may not see peace if evil is allowed to thrive.

It is odd that Murtha wants to Redeploy, to Okinawa, a left over from the 1945 invasion of Japanese territories. Guantanimo is a left over of the 1898 invasion of Korea.

I figure we should resolve the 1898 war first, then pull out of Japan and Germany, then South Korea. After that we can worry about pulling out of Iraq.
