I was amazed last night watching the news from Philadelphia - they interviewed a couple of military people (I was expecting your average liberal off the street) - both men said they wished the good things being done in Iraq would make the news and both said we had to continue with what we started.

When asked about the problems there, one Soldier said that he felt the folks thought that instantly all would be wonderful with jobs and rebuilding - he said they were frustrated that there were still problems going on and were just blaming America for those problems.

Stunning to have such a great story coming out of Philly

It's amazing how we are both evildoers and gods in 1 to alot of "others". To these extremely naive people we are supposed to wave a wand and everything changes in 1 day? This is also, cynically, what liberals expect - altho I think it's more hyperbolic, just so they can complain when things aren't done in that proverbial 1 day.
