re: While the numbers are heartening, I think they are still too high for what's going on in the WH and Iraq. I AGREE 100%. It takes so much time. Look at the people on this thread, the non-thinking ones, the ones that proclaim "I am Republican right or wrong" -or- "I am American right or wrong". They are starting to question the policy, or at the least the execution in Iraq. But the facts has to slap them in the face 1000 times. Give them time, the ones that have a brain (and can't admit they were wrong) will realize that they were "right" all along, that the US never really committed to Iraq, and that's why we lost. Then 10 years down the road everyone will admit the whole thing was a mistake (and everyone will claim they were against the wat). It will do nothing for the husbands and wives that have lost a spouse, or the kids that have lost a father or mother, or the parents that have lost a kid. Or the people who have lost a friend, or the Iraqi's that have lost their 100,000 innocents. What is the death toll, 60% women and children in Iraq? Get used to it. Many of the chicken hawks will join us, and say they were right all along. And we will embrace them... because it's so important to save just a few more lives. And then the asshole hawks will say we just did it wrong, and we will say "OK, maybe you have a point", just because we really need to end the whole damn thing. And then, in 30 years, when you are a in your 50's or 60's, some SOB idiot President will decide he can change the world. And you will say to yourself, "what the fuck, I've been through this before, I don't need this again". And then, you will go through it all again... John (That's assuming that we still have some military or economic power in 30 years. Frankly, by the time you get old, we will probably be dominated by China).

Tejek, unbelievable that Bush nominates yet another man for the Surpreme Court. Isn't that absolutely ridiculous that they can't find a woman out of the zillion female judges and lawyers out there? This country's Administration is no better than so-called unfree Muslim countries that Bush loves to spout off about. What a hypacrite. I read there's this person that bought an island and declared it as a country and UK fought this, but a UK judge declared the UK govt had no right to tell this person they couldn't have a country. Too funny. I thought about the USA and all that's wrong with it - Supreme Court being basically all male, Congress not representing young people at all, etc etc. It would be nice to have a country from scratch where people truly were represented - one Latino, one black, one white, one Chinese, one Indian, one Native Indian, etc. And 50% women and 50% men. That would be the way I would do it. Not just outdated men that Bush picks making decisons for women and young people.
