These pics are great because Bush looks large and in charge.......and other world leaders are wanting to be around him and want to be a part of whatever he is doing....no one wants to be left out!!!

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I think that we're in a new phase here. With Schroeder gone, Chirac ineffectual and due for retirement and Putin apparently settling for a rivalry that's friendly on a personal level and non-hostile on a public level, it seems that everybody is going to stop giving us a rash of crap about Iraq and focus on what needs to be done to keep the jihadis from spreading.

I also found myself feeling much more optimistic after reviewing these pics---nevermind anything the "experts" said about them.

They truly told me more than 1,000 words.
