   I heard a great line about Iraq a few months ago. "Don't expect Iraq to become Iowa. It will never be Iowa. It might become...New Jersey." Sadly, being from Jersey, I know what he means.

Most people in the world have a love/hate relationship with us. We pretty much saved Europe, first from the Nazis, then from Communism, and the still hate us, but so what. We are not there to win a popularity contest, but to stabilize the area. I can see this being accomplished, especially if people there believe we'll see it through instead of bailing the way we usually do.

	Bush and his cronies didn't lie, Saddam did. Very long. Very nice.
