I knew Miss Marple would provide a voice of reason :-)
We are in a very long war, and are, in fact, only at the beginning. Folks need to square their shoulders, take a deep breath, and prepare to march forward for years. This war may not end in my lifetime. We can win it, but we have to remain steadfast and not go off on our leaders every time we don't understand what's going on. I would remind people that those guys on the beaches of Normandy didn't know the big picture, and in fact probably thought they were in the middle of a disaster. But doing their duty, they pressed forward.
As you can tell, RDTF, I am sick of the constant carping and criticism of Condi, Bush, Omert, the IDF, and anyone else fighting Hezbollah. It's time for people to suck it up and exhibit a little patience!!
