Not me and because of the size of the enemy it might be longer. The attack on the World Trade Center was an attack that started a war much larger than WWII or the Cold War.

I doubt those on the right have forgotten.. but the left and independent may not like it if things go back in the next year... It's a fact of life, if the war is going bad and soldiers are getting killed Bush will have trouble getting re elected. We can be there ten , twenty years like Kosco but the public will not accept daily killing of troops.

Of course they have...

Particularly (for the dems), if it is politically convenient to do so.
