...that you're correct. Unfortunately I suspect this is simply just more wishful thinking on your part. Its built around the same naive beliefs that caused George Bush to claim that hostilities were ended over a year ago.

This is a nation of nearly 25 million people. It only takes a small percentage of those to successfully carry out acts of selective terrorism that can leave scores dead at any one time. I noted this fact well before the war started. The predictions I made then have all come true. We have immersed ourselves into a perpetual conflict that will make the Palestinian-Israeli standoff look like a soccer match.

Before November, the number of American soldiers dead in Iraq will exceed 1,000. Unfortunately, this is only the beginning. Hundreds, perhaps thousands more will die. And billions more or our taxdollars money will be spent. All in pursuit of weapons of mass destruction that did not exist.
