Is the media hurting the war?

The "enemy" is smarter than we give them credit for. We always fight yesterdays wars rather than todays wars. Baghdad will stabilize until we leave, but we can't force that country to be a democracy. Only its people can do that...Capitalism will bring corruption.

I agree that the war has been mismanaged. We had no clue how to fight it. If anything at all can be learned, it is that we are learning how to fight urban terrorism.

Tal, now that I have you on the other end of the horn, I thought I would ask you:Do you believe that Iran eventually will become the real challenge and potential problem for our way of life?A guy on the radio was saying that within Islam itself, there are perhaps a million people with fundamentalist global ambitions.Are they patiently awaiting the day when our nation bankrupts itself into impotence? Will it be necessary to fight these people?Are there any alternatives for the forseeable future?
