I believe the correct policy is to declare victory and retreat. Then the mob will have to protect their heroin without sacrificing our young men.

That will be the death nell of U.S. imperial power and perhaps even of the 'republic'. The only end in sight for the two debacles is humiliating defeat and withdrawal.

I didn't vote as I recall except in some of the local races. I have given up on Federal elections. My friends in the military tell me that the enemy in Afghanistan is a much better fighter than the Iraqis and that the situation is worse there than in Iraq. More seasoned fighters, more patience, and the uncontrolable Pakistan borders are that way for a reason. As soon as we leave Iraq they expect the fighting between the tribes to renew itself. Iraq was a debacle, we destroyed the oldest Christian communities in the world, we destroyed some of the oldest artifacts of known civilzations, we wrecked their country, emboldened its people against us for the next two lifetimes, imposed a radical Moslem government more sympathetic towards Iran than the US. We accomplished nothing except getting 90% privileges on developing oil fields that will be difficult to develop when the strong man returns as he always does in that part of the world. I have no solution because I don't believe there is a solution to the proposed problems given the choices we are always given in national politics. Charlemagne,

Good enough. You voted for Barry and you got the advertised product and more. I fully understand your reasoning. But, truth be known he will neither be truthful, honor life, or respect any creature whom opposes his ideology. This we know already. My question remains, what about troop withdrawal? Were you mistaken in your assessment? Are the Obamites just as imperialistic as the McCainster neos? What's to be done? Rob,

You are exact;y correct. I believe that all true understanding is grounded in reality - what is. The truth is that I prefer the socialist in socialist clothing to the socialist in sheep's clothing. They have always believed in killing, stealing and lying while traditionalists believe in life, property and truth. I still prefer Obama to McCain because we never expected him to be truthful, to honor life, respect property or any man, woman or child who opposes their ideaology. McCain is probably somewhat honorable as a man, but the politics he represents is far worse because it panders to truth and virtue with no intention of ever practicing it or conforming ones will in accordance with it. Calling a spade a spade is a good beginning for any future hope of recovery from any type of addiction --- in the soul or in politics too. Sir Charles,

I found both excuses inexcusable. I was just somewhat curious why the numerous contributors to my favorite site -whom promised a brave new world of non-intervention by our first metrosexual exec a sure thing- have vanished. I have no desire to revisit that horrible election. I'm still main-lining Maalox! Robbie @ 71,

I think the current verb used by the punk rock crowd is "Californicated." @59 Derek "Labour is no longer a workingman’s party but very much a party of the Trendy Left." Who would have thought that Labour's top men would be Eton and Cambridge-educated, while the Tories' Ted Heath and Margaret Thatcher would both be middle-class grocers? @64 John

Being clever, as libertarians and Marxists are clever, is terribly destructive. But, as Prof. Wilson points out, the Republicans are not stupid in the sense of blindly clinging to tradition. Like the Tories, they will destroy any tradition so long as they think they will reap some short-term advantage from it. It was such cynical politicking on the part of Disraeli--a truly nauseating prototype for neoconservatism--that led to an outburst from Trollope to the effect that the Tories were willing to destroy any vital tradition of the British people.

Folks around here didn't think much of their choices. You talk like you had the winner. Who was it? No cowards around these parts, just not interested in debating the merits of expanding the wing span of that "same bird of prey" disguised as a republican eagle or his alias, the democratic vulture. @70
