I agree. 2008 is too late. And Iran and our dems are working hard to make that happen. Fortunately, I think we have a president who would be willing to go to 10% approval rating if he thought it necessary to defend the country.
If I'm wrong in my assesment of W, and if a dem is elected in 2008, it's gonna look a lot like Armageddon. The 21st century is not going to be a nice time to be alive.
I was intrigued by this suggestion in your post. Care to elaborate? Even rank speculation would be welcome :)
