I do not know yet. I find it realy hard to believe even the Realists will cut and run on a war they are winning. I suspect we are going to see a lot of Clinonite moves. Alot of Media PR and glitz while no fundemental change is undertaken in our polices. Media circuses to keep them distracted while Bush just runs out the clock on Iraq.

But after yesterday and running on about 72 hours with almost no sleep, I don't know how much of that is reason and how much of that is wishful thinking. I got to get away from this for awhile. Well analysis closer plus anything else I can dig up later.

"I do not know yet. I find it realy hard to believe even the Realists will cut and run on a war they are winning."

I've read some things the "Realist" school writes. Ironically they are less in touch with reality than their opponents.

Like Iran, seating the problem at our feet, a smooth blame-America-first attitude, denying Iran as an independent actor that sees advantage in hating the US.
