Good afternoon.
"Are you gonna ask me about the Congo Brazzaville next? :-)"

I wasn't planning on it, since it has nothing to do with the subject at hand. No, I'm responding to your belief that the answer to Iraq's problems is an iron thumb.

I don't really need to read your URL to know the history of the players in the middle east or to understand that we can't afford to lose, or that we can't leave yet without losing. My novel solution is for us to take Syria out of the picture and bring about regime change in Iran by any means in either place.

The take over by the DemocRATs is going to make that much harder to do. I've got to say that I'm not optimistic about things working out. W may have the only answer when he says "stay the course", but we're not likely to do so now.

I haven't seen you around here much, melancholy. Maybe it's just that I have overlooked your posts. Whatever, I'll post as I choose but thanks for the wish for a great evening.

..........No, I'm responding to your belief that the answer to Iraq's problems is an iron thumb.

According to their history, it's the only way to win. I outlined that already in the URL that you're feeling indignant to read! LOL Nope, not trying to force ya!

..........I don't really need to read your URL to know the history of the players in the middle east

This doesn't mean you didn't read it! You may not WANT to admit it but..... Psychology says:....never mind! LOL

or to understand that we can't afford to lose, or that we can't leave yet without losing. My novel solution is for us to take Syria out of the picture and bring about regime change in Iran by any means in either place.

To be efficient, you take Iran out first, Air power for a few days of military bases and nuke sites bombing. Syria will fold, no doubt about it!

We couldn't bring regime change in Iraq for a decade. We had to invade. We CAN'T invade the-much-larger Iran and we don't want to. Crippling the Iranian mullahs will most likely change the regime or at least take them out of the Iraq game, capeesh? (Phonetic!)

It's difficult to keep up with FR posts when one is really busy. I didn't post that much. I'm sure my posts weren't that interesting or important. However, the record is there but don't stumble on that URL! Sounds like Niagara Falls in the famous Abbot & Costello skit! Do not say "URL"!!! LOL

Nice talking to you Michael, all in good humor though!

Have an extended wonderful evening, sir.
