And it sucks being right. I personally prefer being wrong on this one, like I personally would love picking a winning lottery number. But it just doesn't look like either of those is in the cards. What I can't understand is why it is so blindingly obvious to us, but so damnably opaque to those making the decisions.

The reason people don't see what's "blindingly obvious to others" is usually because they have a vested interested in maintaining the status quo......typically, that involves money but not always. Many Republicans are making big money off this war and their control of the gov't.......oil, defense, pork, tax cuts, etc. For the rest, its a matter of pride and as long as the war doesn't effect them personally, its better than a Clinton or a Kerry. A commonality running through most of the neocons, they are less concerned with the common good than the rest of us.

What they don't realize is that's how revolutions start.
