Something has to be done and it won`t be pretty.
Iran has a death wish if they keep up thier crap..... Many people dont know but alot of the middle east Muslim countries backed the nazis during WWII. There was even a branch of the SS made up of foriegn muslims towards the end of the war. They supported the nazis 60 years ago and they are the new nazis today. These folks dont have a very good track record making peace.....

The religious zealots over there have been fighting for over 1000 years. They will never agree to live peacefully with each other. Saddam kept semi control of the country by ruling with an iron fist. Not that I condone the things he did because I don't. But they seemed to work in keeping the warring factions at bay.

I personally don't believe a democratic government will ever work over there. Which ever group is elected be it sunni, shiite or whoever the loser will believe they were wronged and bloodshed will ensue. They won't settle for " ok our party lost this election. Maybe next election we will win". That will never happen. Their religious beliefs are something that most of us (myself included) will never be able to comprehend.

What should we do? I don't know. Should we pull our people out of there? We can't, we are in way too deep now. Until the people of Iraq start to turn in the "bad apples" the country will have problems. This will never happen though because what one side sees as terrorists the other side sees as martyrs. I believe a lot of the people over there live in fear of reprisal, and rightfully so.

Good idea SkipN, Spence for president. At least he dresses better on the jetty than "W" would.

I would gladly take Skippy as my running mate. I'm sure a little wardrobe rehab would be necessary, but compared to the challenges facing our great Nation it wouldn't be more than a warm up.

Skip, your duties are to preside over the Senate, carry my plug bag and in case anything happens that impeeds my ability to be president...resign!
