Maybe all show. But you never know. The military-industrial complex (Haliburton, Carlyle) may want another infusion of cash and the fifty-first state may have its own ideas.

I agree about the Iraq and Afghanistan wars being fiascos - the wars of George Bush's ear. Too bad it's so hard to get out after you've been there for a while. Too bad people have to die for nothing.

I agree about the news report. Something good seems to be stirring. JMHO.
