"Gen Casey told Congress the army was "out of balance" and added: "The demand for our forces exceeds the sustainable supply. We are consumed with meeting the demands of the current fight, and are unable to provide ready forces as rapidly as necessary for other potential contingencies."

Thanks, Carol.

As to Iranian students protesting against Ahmahdinejad...

We depend on students from all countries to be the voice of opposition. Iran is no different.

Unfortunately, U.S. students haven't quite lived up to my expectations regarding the present Bush administration. Could it be that entrance to universities is severely limited to the sons and daughters of the upper classes? Could it be that the other students are so busy trying to pay their tuition that they have absolutely no time to 'get political?"

Hats off to the Iranian students. Let the Iranians sort out their own political problems. A new president might be in order but it is not our problem.
