I keep wanting to wake-up from this nightmare and find that Ronald Reagan is president.

In FaiRness, I remember waking up to news of the Beirut truck bomb attack on the building housing US Marines.
No disrespect to Mr. Reagan, but if you wonder why we never went back then hard and heavy and stomped this festering region back into the 6th century which is where far too many seem to want to live anyway.. well..
As President Bush has offered years ago, the war will be long , the battles and losses costly , but if we do not fight them there, we will end up fighting them here.
Some might say we already have them here,, in this Inconvenient ‘Conflict with Global Insurgents’.
I remember when we splashed Libian Migs in the Mediterian, and when later we bombed Kadafi at his compound/palace. We’ve heard little from Libia since that time. (Less the last few weeks at the UN).
