Obviously, I cannot argue with the elation that those people feel, but I say again: It is not the place of the US -- nor is it within the resources of the US to free everyone that lives under a repressive regime --

My earnest prayer is that this obtains the stated goals -- more security here, freedom for the Iraqi people and more stability for the region. It is exciting to think of them pulling down statues -- but we can by no means do this for everyone in the world and the challenge is what comes after.

Time will tell, if this is to bring lasting peace or freedom to the Iraqi people or more security here. Perhaps oil will be cheaper for a season and the Saudis will be a little less blatant about exporting terrorism -- we shall see.
