.................Your right. I'm letting myself get sucked in...........sigh.
.........Bush #2 is a stubborn guy and won't likely change course. Is that good or bad? I do know that Kerry has made such a big deal about how tough he thinks he is that the course of events in Iraq won't be changed too much if he becomes President. His own supporters will try to influence him toward pulling out but I don't think that he'd want to because of the 'flip-flop' stigma that he's trying to shake off. If he loses to Bush, it'll be a moot point anyway. We're going to have to bite the bullet either way and support our soldiers through thick and thin. There is no practical alternative regardless of the public opinion in Western Europe. I'm still optimistic that the new government in Iraq will continue to get stronger and more effective in the war against these insurgents. That's our only real hope, in the end.
