Except for 2001, the record isn't so bad.

Agreed. My money is on liberty. The human soul craves it. I think liberty and democracy and a viable middle class will win out in the end. I just hope I am alive to see it.

I hope to see it too, but this is simply wishful thinking. Events do not indicate that Iraq will be a thriving democracy with a robust middle class any time soon. I don't know how old you are, but I'm inclined to go with the over. Perhaps Less can help us with the line.

The average Joe driving around in his SUV will be willing to send US soldiers to die to defend our access to oil rather than give up their gas guzzlers. That is morally unconsciencable (sp?).

Then why are the Rs giving them tax breaks to own them?

But we can rely on Israel to do things the US public won't support, like bombing Iraq's nuclear facilities. I don't think you can get the US public to support an attack on Iran's nuclear plants. Israel will do it, though. Long live Israel.

I'll admit that I kind of like Israel doing ballsy stuff like this. Better them than us. Perhaps "O'Kerrystein" can get them to do something about Iran?
