I don't think that we can ever afford to be that "right" again. Just like Iraq will turn out.
As you were typing this drivel, arete, The DNA of Iraq's captured Ho Chi Minh was being tested.
It is rare that someone writes a post that is already wrong, but with the capture of Saddam yesterday at 8:30 PM Iraq Time, 2:30 PM ET, 11:30AM PT, you've done the near-impossible with your 11:48AM PT post. Congratulations (excuse the momentary gloat).
Gloat done.
Oh, and Nam would have turned out similarly with a Republican president and the ability to refute the lies of the mainstream press we have today.
