Snatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory

Now that October has become the deadliest month for US troops in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq has been seeing an increase in bombings and Pakistan is slowly collapsing and Iran is developing its nuclear program without pause, can we all agree that the current Presidential Administration has been a complete disaster on this front? Things are worse, far worse, now than they were in January.

[And I have to admit, seeing Kerry say we shouldn't send more troops to Afghanistan is brazen. As I recall, four years ago, he argued that Bush was mistaken to fight in Iraq because Afghanistan is where the problems were--he argued we needed to increase the force in Afghanistan and reduce it in Iraq. Suddenly, he doesn't want to fight in Afghanistan either.]

The puzzle for the day: If a person really believes that the world is a nice place and that if we all could just get together and hold hands everything will be wonderful, what happens when the other kids on the playground are bullies?
