While the last paragraph of this post Message 19245074 is the "punch" paragraph, I liked the following: There is a story about a scorpion that begged a frog to carry him across a river. The frog at first refused, saying the scorpion would sting him. "Don't be silly," said the scorpion. "If I sting you, I'll drown, too." The frog gave in and started across the river. The scorpion stung him. Just before they both drowned, the frog said, "Why?" "Well," said the scorpion, "this is the Middle East." The American rhetoric, if not the facts, is starting to resemble the Vietnam War era. Turning over security and jobs to Iraqis sounds a lot like the claim of "Vietnamization" of that earlier war. And talk about persevering and ultimately triumphing sounds like the Vietnam-era talk of "light at the end of the tunnel." JMO lurqer
