Got to post a positive comment soon! Maybe the trip to Wyoming will cool me off and improve my attitude. But this ain't it!
Todays's rash of bombings in Iraq reminded me of a radio interview with Tom Ricks, a journalist and author with much Mid-East experience -- months ago. He quoted our Ambassador (until mid-February), Ryan Crocker as stating that the most significant historical events in Iraq "haven't happened yet," adding that the surge was a tactical, but not a strategic, victory.
Ricks believes that a "Mini-Sadam" strong man government is the best outcome we can expect in the long run. Obviously, he was not a fan of the decision to invade.
The legacy of Britain and France creating multi-factional "nations" by drawing lines in the sand lives on.
