>> 10 years from now, we may still be controlling iraq in some form

Highly unlikely. We'll be out [substantially] before bush leaves office.

>> And we sure are doing a superb job of feeding their hate.

I think as we leave over the next few years that will clearly subside. It is just part of it.

>> before the election - United Nations

LMAO. The UN was in Saddam's pocket. Where have you been?

Clearly, the fools who thought the UN was an honest broker look like idiots today. I hope, and believe, the UN is on its last legs in its current form. Criminals, from Kofi Annan on down. If it can't be substantially re-formed, cut off funding and watch it die. This may end up being Bush's greatest accomplishment.

>> Isnt a loss of tens of thousands of lives (ours and theirs) important enough for the govt to proactively fund alternate source of energy since late 1970s.

This is the government's responsibility. Had we let pump prices go to $4 where it ought to be and the problem would have taken care of itself overnight. Ten years from now we could well be looking at a GLUT of oil.

Replacing 5% or 10% of the nation's cars with hybrids, which *IS* going to happen, solve the world oil crisis.
