You h ave any indication that they hate BUSH or just the person who
is in the office. You think those with weapons and no compunction to

no compunction -against- killing,I believe you mean...

kill are suddenly going to put down their weapons and participate in
mass sing alongs of "Kumbaya" suddenly in mid- January?

I doubt it, but likely their general, low-level hatred of people that
don't share their beliefs suddenly have a focus due to Bush's actions.

That had that focus since Jimmy Carter's time.
Hezbollah(an Iranian creation) has been around a long time.

And that focus takes a long time to blur, so we'll be dealing wit hthe
aftermath for a while.

Had we actually cleaned up the neighborhood in Iraq (and Afghanistan for
that matter) quickly after the initial invasion (e.g. MASSIVE commitment
of police-type forces) things might have been different. Unfortunately
our leaders were too short sighted to not lose the war after winning the
battle.

Well,Nate,similar mistakes and setbacks were made in just about every war
the US has been in,but we adjusted. (see Victor Davis Hanson's articles..)
One MAJOR thing different this time is that we no longer had the support of
the media.
