Face it, americans by and large approve of their gummint. They like goodeez for nuttin and cheap gasoline. The military likes their task and civveez must like it too cuz they enlist and join the holy crusade. It's democracy in action and everyone knows that democracy is a good thing. Even Winnee da Churchill sed so.

You and I may not care for it all but that's beside the point. What is the point is that a majority do and they should have what they want. Polls mean nothing. Ask the average guy what he thinks about the war if a pull out means gas goes to 6 bucks a gallon. I do believe that, under those conditions, he will rediscover an added incentive for "staying the course". He will instantly come to love the "urge to surge" so much that he will, instantly and magnanimously, volunteer his neighbors kids for the war effort, should they be found lacking in community spirit and the requisite level of enthusiasm for democratically derived decision making.

For those of us who derive a great deal of humor from watching democracy in action, this is an interesting period to be alive. We are presently witness to the intersection of collosal democratic stupidity fully joined with that of an evil unseen since the the '30s. History prolly ordains the outcome and it will very likely be not pleasant but since it's really unstoppable, why not just sit back and enjoy the show? After all, it will take another 100 years to see its like again.
