Victor nails it again.
But before we start planning victory parades let's remember this war is going to be going on for a long while(decades?)
This is why the upcoming election ids so important. President Bush for all his faults, missteps MUST(imo) be reelected! The thought of Howrd the duck Dean(or any of the other moral midgets) moving into 1600 Pennsylvania ave. is enought to send me screaming into the night

This is why the upcoming election ids so important.

This coming election is probably the most important election in the last 100 years. If one of the current crop of Democrats is elected we will begin to see the decline of the United States as a respected world power and possibly a decline into the mediocrity of Europe. It is imperative the George Bush be re-elected, there is no alternative.

That is one of the difficulties that face us: our society has no patience, we want all and now. Americans are willing to work hard, but want to see the rewards instantly. Islamists (and other potential enemies, Chinese) are willing to wait, bleed slowly, but wait for the right time to strike. As I like to quote somebody smart (I wish I remember who he was): it will take long time and lots of effort for us to win in the war on terror, but we can loose this war really-really fast.
