I love your optimism...
I'll stick to my prediction... Check in next year.
"I love your optimism..."
You've got the wrong guy dude. :)
Optimism says "Even if the whole of Congress cut and run and removed all funding for the war, we'll still kick enough @$$ that all the Iraqis ahve to do is sweep up the remnants and the Middle EAst will become peaceful with flowers and puppies and puppy/flowers..."
That's optimistic. I'm not. I adopt a wait and see attitude. And if things continue as they are, we're dead.
