I don't think we need any time, it already is. If Iraq doesn't devolve into civil war it will only be out of sheer luck, not policy or anything the administration does. Here's a good rules to live by: (1.) If you seriously have to ask if you won the the war, you didn't (Israel-Hezbollah). (2.) If you seriously have to remind the country you're at war, you're not. (3.) If you seriously have to ask if something is the worst foreign policy decision ever, it is. The problem with Bush is he's never, ever, shown a capacity to make data driven decisions; but, many voted for him anyway. Twice. That shows us 2 things: 1.) Americans will never be accused of being the sharpest voters, and 2.) Faith-based fiction is winning over reality. It's #2 that's the most dangerous. Historically it's always the beginning of the end. When a government can win favor based on fictions (Ms. Rice: "Iraq, ah, has ties to Al Quaeda") and not be held accountable, a society is beginning to crumble. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:215391 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
