I quite agree that the conflict in Iraq is immoral. More than that, it's unethical. And if you think for a minute that at 63 I relish the idea of living in the hills off partially cooked rabbits and raw rattler you're better think again.

Can I? Yes. Would I? Yes, if like the French Maquis I felt it needful. But what I keep hearing here is "We're right and everyone else is wrong and if you're not part of the solution you're part of the problem" -- all of which I heard in the '60s and early '70s.

But what is happening here is that Fanny is insisting that only those who agree with her are right and everyone else is EEE-vil.

There is NO single, simple solution.

None.

It's going to take a lot of work and a lot of years to get us (and by that I mean more than just the US) out of the mess that it's taken us years to slowly slide into. It will be three steps forward and two steps back -- but the ultimate direction is forward.
