Every time the "formerly faithful" are about to (and in some cases already have) drive their flat-tired tricycles off the parallel bars, things improve. Is it too much to wish for that they won't go wobbly again before the next milestone? Probably. You got that right Tim.

Opps, there should be no question mark after this sentence. Another thing: the war in Iraq against the terrorists has been over for a long time. We have been concerned recently about internal divisions within the country. This is an important distinction. “I have long been fairly confident concerning Iraq?”

The odds are on their side. Am I wearing rose colored glasses? Nope, Iíve just seen enough news clips of Iraqis shopping for new TVs, air conditioners, refrigerators, and other such items. The majority of these people seem to be motivated primarily by secular concerns. Thatís really all you need to know. Good old "materialism" works every time.

He hasn't given up yet. I'm thinking of those who lack the courage of their convictions, who can talk a good game before hand (and maybe even congratulate themselves afterwards), but lose their nerve during the rough going that even they knew would come.
