I have a hunch you are going to be surprised come ‘08. America does not want to lose this war.
Well, to tell you the truth, you could have fooled me, with the statement "America does not want to lose this war."
I mean, if that was the case, then the support would have been there in the last election for keeping the troops there for another decade, which it will take to stabilize that country and make sure that the U.S. (when it does leave) just doesn't hand the whole government over to the religio-fanatical-governmental idealogy of Islam.
As it stands now, if the U.S. begins its leaving in 2008, that's exactly what we'll be doing. But, since it does not appear to me, that the American public is backing the war enough, and thus the Democrats took over Congress the last Congressional elections -- that means that the public is obviously not backing things as they should.
Furthermore, things tend to swing as a pendulum swings. First things go one way and then they change direction and swing the other way. It's a constant swinging that always goes on. It surely goes on in politics. And it's apparent that the pendulum has stopped at one point in its swing and is changing the direction and getting ready for the big swing back in the other direction. Once the momentum builds up, it's next to impossible to prevent the swing. That's the way things have always worked out in the past with pendulum swinging politics.
The only thing that could radically change that swinging in the other direction would be if we have another major terrorist attack on our soil, like a nuclear attack on one of our cities. Then that would abruptly abort the swing back in the opposite direction (as it's going now) and put it firmly at the spot where the American public would engage more forcefully in that war against the religio-fanatical-governmental oppressive idealogy of Islam.
So, I guess we will se in the next Presidential election. Short of that attack that I was talking about, don't look for that pendulum swing to stop in mid-movement and go back to where it was.

You are believing the anti-American propaganda. There is plenty of Americans who are willing to stick it out for a decade to get it right. None of them exist in PravdABDNC.
But hey, live in your negative world if you want.
