Maybe thru time reality will hit! Meanwhile the billions spent on "protecting the homeland" (bin Laden would smile!) and "taking the front to the enemy" (nice to fight on familiar ground - saves travelling!) in Iraq is a nice diversion from real issues where there is nada aptitude.... anyone remember the economy, healthcare or much else?
