Wake up, it's 1987 in the Middle East. Two more years until 1989.

"You feel they are completely lost," said Mr. Khairallah, the political commentator. "The Arab League is finally feeling the impact of the fall of Baghdad. It took them a whole year."

What a devestating analysis--by an Arab, no less. It's becoming obvious that the fall of Baghdad is the opportunity for millions of Iraqis to taste freedom and enjoy a chance for a better life. Just like the fall of the Iron Curtain, now millions have a chance for a better life. Terrorism and suicide bombers are products of total frustration and hopelessness. It's not religious so much as a reaction to weak, aimless governments who are corrupt and incompetant.

George W. Bush may come to be viewed as the pivotal world figure who reacted with compassion to the terrorist nations. We seek not to kill them all but to hear them and to help them.

Yeah... lol. Sometimes It strikes me that we already lived through this decade. Alot of similarities with the 1980's... however, I think we're closer to 1984 than 1987
