Taming Iraq is Americas great goal. JFK sent men to the moon, at enormous expense with no hope of returns except for the belief, the faith, that the work would return future dividends and it certainly has. We have the GPS satellites and world wide communications satellites. That job employed people from all walks, created employment, gave many a sense of purpose, and proved that cooperation could accomplish nearly impossible things. 911 galvanized the Nation, gave us a common goal which could be used to divert attention from the worst market crash in history where trillions vanished and millions of jobs were lost, and get America moving forward again. So we took on the worst of the terrorists,OBL and Saddam and the job of creating a democratized Iraq. Thats a job far beyond the difficulty of sending a man to the moon, since it required that we fight the most heavily armed ME Nation and install a change in attitude of 24 mm people of a different religion half way around the world. There is no way America will quit before the job is finished and Iraqis can stand alone. Success would be close to being called a miracle. Kerry should not be permitted destroy the work accomplished so far. The UN did nothing to relieve the suffering of the Iraqis, and in fact the sanctions were making their conditions worse.
