Then we can send in a limited number of troops to train them.  And advisors to advise them. Then we can provide air cover.  And then we can...Wait!  Haven't we been here before? and before that? 

Thank goodness, McCain lost in 2008 or we would be hip deep in another war.

Meanwhile, there's also Iran and the drum beats which keep getting louder in the press.

You know, with the withdrawal from Iraq and the draw-downs from Afghanistan, I was really hoping for a "Peace Dividend," one that would have freed up money for projects that helped us all.

Silly me.

Diane, I am hoping that President Obama will hold firm against the war mongers. We'll have to wait and see. Maybe with a second term, he will have the confidence to stand up to the perpetual war machine.
