Re: Voting Democratic??? Take a look!
The Najaf situation is indicitive of the whole situation in Iraq, IMO, in that we are between the proverbial rock and the hard place.<br /><br />Bomb that place, level it, kill Al Sadr and all his cronies, which we clearly could do, of course, and we risk an all out civil war. Leave him there, and negotiate with him, and we are negotiating with terrorists and we all know how well that works.<br /><br />Maybe we should give Chalabi another call, and ask him what he would do?<br /><br />In the FWIW department, you all will be glad to hear that I am betting on Bush to win this election! I deal on a daily basis with Canadian businessmen, who simply cannot imagine that the Americans are stupid enough to re elect Bush. I tell them that yes, indeed we are exactly that stupid.<br /><br />So three of these business people, thinking this is easy money, have bet me $50 (US) that Bush won't win.<br /><br />I figure if I lose the bet, I could not be any happier! If I win the bet, at least I get something out of the next four years of crisises!
