Still, know who you are quoting, or you could get in trouble. For a minute, there, I thought you were quoting the God of Scientology. But I was clearly wrong. In fact, Elbert Hubbard is, or rather was, an interesting fellow: An artist, and a philosopher, from a newspaper family of a previous century. And I didn't know that until now, but thanks to you.

But I think sometimes, we buy into it to such a degree, that we fail to acknowledge when it isn't as bad as we say it is.<BR/><BR/>I don't think John Kerry got a free pass at all. Perhaps not the level of public castration we right-wingers would have loved to have seen. But still, it killed him for '08.<BR/><BR/>As for the "surge"...you really should follow more of the bigtime blogs, like Counterterrorism Blog, Mark.<BR/><BR/>I think this mainstream piece by Robert Kagan might be worth reading: From the <A HREF="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/09/AR2007030901839.html" REL="nofollow">Washington Post</A>.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot out there Mark. You should poke around more, instead of admitting you haven't been following the news, but vaguely thinking "the surge is working". I think it's too early to tell. Certainly, there have been a lot of positive optimisim about it. But the enemy might just be lying low, waiting and watching.
