And in the end, what do we win? What's the prize? Are they going to love us?

We win stability in the Middle East under the only democratic Arab regime. And, in case you haven't noticed, most Iraqis (and that includes most Shiites) are opposed to al-Sadr and his attacks on coalition forces. You're never going to satisfy the extremists -- just as die-hard Democrats in this country would never support Bush regardless of what he does for this nation. So, seriously, don't bother floating the canard of expecting to be loved Muslim fanatics by in the Middle East. It ain't gonna happen -- and it's a false expectation.

You don't win stability or gain the respect of people that enjoy blowing themselves up. If you want real stability over there, be prepared to kill about 80 million people.

In reality, by the time you ever get stability in that corner of the world, those SOBs wont have a drop of gas left.
