Why bother, Frank? Nobody here is interested in any victories or progress.

If Iraq negotiates the many pitfalls over the next ten to twenty years and winds up a democratic, individualist society, the Left will respond with "so what?" while marching to support those who will probably still be setting off intermittent bombs in Baghdad like the attacks on Israel. And Bush's role in the victory will be as thoroughly wiped from our culture as Reagan's role in ending the Cold War. So it goes.

The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win.
