Perhaps???? It's way past time. What really torques me about the whole deal is that we have the ability to fix all of the problems over there. But we won't do it. I've been hearing about the middle east problems all my life (44) years.... and I'm sure that those who come after me will be hearing the same.
I've read accounts of American soldiers describing the happiness and joy of ordinary Iraqis. This cannot be faked.
However, we have to remember the significant number of Ba'athists (sp?) that lived off the vast majority through some 30 years of Stalinist terror. They do not want to give this up.
Sharon said it best: There are a finite of these terrorists. We will hunt down every single one of them. (my addition: and kill every last one of them)
