There is none.

But that's not the point. I'm sharing RLK's opinion:
-----
We are fighting at least three wars.

1) One against Mohammed and all his disciples.

2) One against international socialism.

3) One against internal political and economic deterioration at home that will leave us an oppressed politically correct third world nation.

Catching Hussein won't help with 2 and 3. Since I assume that Saddam wasn't the only one supporting Mohammed, maybe even a small unimportant gear in a big machine, catching him won't have much impact on 1 either.

That's what I was trying to say. A Victory, yes, maybe a big one. But the end of our problems? I don't think so.

Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but I can't shake the feeling that there is a lot of trouble ahead. Or to paraphrase an old chinese curse:" We live in interesting times"

...I can't shake the feeling that there is a lot of trouble ahead.

Yeh, me too, a bad feeling in the gut. We're unmoored, our institutions are corrupt. We're going to learn self-reliance, and a lot of other stuff. Some sort of unforeseen "9/11-like" event will put us over the edge. Maybe 5, maybe 10 years, no more. My opinion. Hope I'm wrong.
