The Republican party line that the US must "win" the war in Iraq reminds me of the Vietnam War era, Gahan Wilson (Playboy Mag) cartoon of a lone soldier standing in the middle of a battlefield with unspeakable epocalyptic carnage surrounding him with every building destroyed far into the horizon. The caption is, as I recall, "I think we won".
Our pissing away 10 billion a month will never settle the issues between the Sunnis and the Shiites, but 10 billion a month would sure as heck help us at home......we need to "win" the economic war that is destroying our country very, very soon. We need to circle the wagons and re-assess the economic feasibility of our foreign policies. Something is very unsound about the decisions we have been making. Our belts can't get any tighter.....at least mine can't.
