Ferocious agreement.
LorDilly,
Here's me late again.
Occams, what you've written is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent post were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this forum is now dumber for having read it. I award you no nerd-points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Perhaps you were kidding, but I would have been intimidated by a response like that to a genuine attempt to start a debate on an important subject.
I think that Occams pressure cooler metaphor is original and entirely consistent with our troops in Iraq achieving their objectives and behaving very professionally.
Our strategy seems to be to keep the peace while the new Iraqui Government gets on its feet. So our aim is to suppress the violence - ideally to a level that the Iraq Government can deal with.
So your view that most everything is going according to plan is compatible with Occams', and I think he deserves an apology for your intemperate attack on what proved to be a good start to very thought provoking discussion.
I think that through all the posts on this thread he has made a convincing argument on the debt burden of America now being such as to make continuing the war in Iraq unfundable. In fact, he showed that this Administration cannot afford just about any big expense. It is a shame that it ended wout having a professional economics nerd view, although there were some authoritative sources quoted.
