The civilized world will not fall in two years because there are 230+ Dem House members

Two years of communications not being monitored for fear of violating a jihadi's privacy, two years of Iraq turning into a jihadi gangsta paradise (the House leadership is utterly unyielding on this point, we WILL be bugging out of Iraq), two years of ham-stringing Bush's efforts to deal withg North Korea and Iran...

A lot can happen in two years, except for one thing: another election.

Everything you say is true, but hasn't much to do with what I said.

I have felt for a while, and said so on FR, that things would almost have to get better before they got worse. That's been clear since much of the nation lost it's confidence in the run-up to the campaign in Iraq in 2003. It was clear then that too many Americans just can't stomach it.

They will, when they have no choice left.

I suggest you relax and have some confidence. There are 200+ GOP House members, 49 GOP Senators, and a president who will make the case for a while.

Civilization will not end in the next 24 months. It may get bruised. It may get battered. It may take a severe hit (or two, or more). But it won't end.
