No, I don't realize that. Not yet. The experiment in Iraq is just a-borning and the one in Afghanistan is embryonic. Time will tell. To be honest, when I read a thread like this and see a mirror image of the same hysteria I see on the Left, my worry is that Osama bin Laden may have been right about post-Vietnam America. My hero, Ronald Reagan, didn't believe that, and I don't want to believe it either. But the hysteria is most disheartening — especially the knee-jerk blame-Bush garbage.
