>> There is no by gones for the terrorists. Funny enough I think they believe the same about the West. >> Today, Iraq is closer to becoming an independent state. Iraq is a fake entity without historical accuracy. It should become a 3-state solution along its natural ethno-geohistorical lines. Anything else is looking for trouble. >> Iran just had their elections. And you wish to claim credit for this?!! Iran has always had elections. When Bush took over both the executive branch and the legislature were in the hands of the reformers. Only Judiciary remained the major obstacle. Today all 3 branches are in the hands of the hardliners. With progress like this who needs enemies. >> Lebanon has been freed from the Syrian forces. That is a good thing, though every Lebanese I've heard says there is a very real danger of civil war. We'll see how this unfolds, but what does that have to do with the "War on Terror"? >> Saudi Arabia is rounding up it's most wanted terrorists. SA remains the same S..hole it has always been. I don't see them becoming civilized during this lifetime or next. >> Egypt is talking about the virtues of moderate Islamic life. Is this a joke? Egyptian government has always been against militant Islam. Egyptian people on the other hand have rarely had a more negative view of America in their history. You should look at some of the poles. >> Afghanistan has been freed from the Taliban. Is that so? I've hated the Taliban with passion. They represent everything I hate in government. But do tell what progress has been made in Afghanistan. With the amount of money Bush is spending you'd think it would be paradise on earth by now. But your bring in your news and I'll show you mine. >> Pakistan is working closely with the US to shut down terrorism. Pakistan recently suggested they know where OBL is but cannot bring him in for fear that such act would bring down the government in a popular revolt...so much for winning the hearts and minds of the people. >> I wish every country in the ME would put electrodes to the private parts of every one of the terrorists they do not shoot first. Then I think Rummy has a job for you. Go enjoy yourself.
