Tejek - I think you realize how easy it would be to flip a majority of Americans into bombing Iran? oh, wait, a majority already do support that. oh, but we need out of Afghanistan? and how many of those sweet lil pacifist 'lefties' are all too ready to get all skeered of the big bad Iran and bomb them? all too many.

I was for the quick strike in Afghanistan to take out the Taliban and elements of AQ, then to leave. Americans were gung ho to do more.

I never bought into Iraq. what was it... 95% were into it? hankering for it?

here we are now.

now I believe in working out a plan for Afghanistan but I am somehow seen as 'outside of the tribe". whatever. I was happy to be outside of the tribe when it was in a blood lust after Iraq. And I am happy to be so now.

we created a situation. we have a responsibility. I think it is as simple as that.
