Thank you for clarifying your point of view, shakran. I didn't want to point fingers and accuse you of the crime of lassitude.

But that said, I do believe there is a measure of that attitude behind the popular pressure for an immediate withdrawal from Iraq. I've grown quite skeptical of the political imperatives of both parties on this issue. Surprise!

Your tire fire analogy is very compelling. I'm just not sure we are dealing with a conflagration out of control, yet. I'm just not sure.
