Teevee, re: "Dean is wrong and Powel is correct-'you broke it, you bought it.' Thankfully Bush is in for the long haul."

It would be nice if it were that simple. We do not, however possess the god-like powers your post would suggest. How do you fix something like Iraq once you've broken it? How do you fix something that takes years, wisdom you don't have and the cooperation of a nation of people with their own culture and their own ideas? More "awe and shock?"

It's too bad we don't live in a word where every problem can be solved with a slogan but the real world has too many nuances for that kind of black and white thinking. Ed
