Thank you for your considered response, but my gut feeling is that we will not win the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan with the current methodologies.
Not that we couldn't, but rather because the people haven't got the patience for it.
All indicators are that the American people will elect a government that will pull back and let the terrorists win, if not in the election looming in November, then in 2008.
And I submit that this would be catastrophic for our country, in the long run.

Now there you may be on to something. This is where the likes of you and I come into the picture. Telling people what is really going on with Iraq. One thing I do is print out articles and leave them laying around for anyone one to read. I've had a number of people come up and tell my "I didn't know that" (whatever "that" happens to be).
