===> Nonsense! They don't need Uncle Sucker to mediate their civil war to have the ability to determine their own futures! <=== The people of Iraq will never have a chance for self-determination if the US pulls out. The Iranian backed IslamoFascist Shiites would take over and create another regime, like the others in the area, that brutally enslaves the minds and bodies of the people. ===> Why on Earth would you say that? (You think the Sunni nations in the region would NOT oppose Iranian expansion? That's just CRAZY, it's the #1 thing on their minds! :-) The Sunni nations would meekly oppose Iran, just as they do right now. They are only interested in bleeding and enslaving their own people and stuffing their own fat guts. If anything, these Sunni nations will need help from the US in order to protect them from Iran. ===> The Shia are ALREADY in control in the areas where their population dominates... but NOT where they are minorities (as in the Gulf regions of S.A., or Kuwait, or central 'Iraq', etc.) So, that's no change. <=== Egypt is majority Sunni. I wonder why Egypt is currently asking for help from Russia, in order to restart Egypt's nuclear program. ===> "And, two, the Sunni world is significantly larger --- more populous & richer --- then the Shia minority is worldwide." <=== Iran would finance an IslamoFascist terrorist war against the rest of the Middle East. The other nations in the Middle East will not be able to defend against it. A Democrat controlled US would offer appeasement to the Middle East, but no plan of substance or significant military backing. The Democrats will still be blaming the US for everything that has gone wrong with this world over the past 2000 years. Iran would eventually dominate the Middle East just like Hitler dominated Europe.

There He Goes Again By Howard Kurtz Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, November 1, 2006; 10:54 AM Will John Kerry do for the 2006 campaign what he did for the 2004 edition? Why couldn't the Massachusetts senator have climbed out of the hole he fell into by just apologizing for saying something stupid, rather than getting out a shovel and digging?

The Obama Swoon Down in the Mud Loud and Clear More Stories Save & Share Article What's This? DiggGoogle del.icio.usYahoo! RedditFacebook There isn't anybody, including in the Bush administration, who believes that Kerry meant to insult the soldiers in Iraq with his clumsy joke that has given the Republicans a big fat target after months on the defensive. But the words he uttered, in his clumsy fashion, were insulting, and he should have moved quickly to limit the damage. Instead, with the look of a man who will never get over having been unfairly Swift-boated, he refused to apologize and ripped the White House and the GOP, thereby escalating the story and ensuring that he would lead all the network newscasts last night. Bush v. Kerry, the Sequel, is an irresistible headline for news organizations. This is a joke? "Education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." That's worse than voting for the $87 billion before you voted against it. Even his former spokesman, Mike McCurry, said on CBS that Kerry should apologize, and that he more or less had. But he hasn't, and that's the problem.
