i think it started off ok, i got afghanistan, i got bin laden, got 911, I reconciled that as ok for me and saw the point. I have a hard time with iraq, maybe it matters , maybe it doesn't. There is a lot going on we don't know about, there is a lot we do. The real test is not now, but when our kids are adults and we are nothing but wretched shaking mumblers. Is the world gonna be better off? I wish I knew the end of the story. Was there a flash of brilliance in a dimly lit room, who knows. The rest is up to us and ultimately preordained for the most part. The guy is admittedly easy to knock, like shooting fish in a glass, but I still think there is a lot we have no idea about. I fucking hope..... Famous last words of a recalicitrant optimist.
