A Conversation

Instead of whining about how we were deceived about the reasons to invade Iraq, we should accept the fact that we're there and fight to win. This is a position that you may have heard before. I imagine a conversation similar to this:

Vice President Dick: Mr. President, do you recall what Clemenceau once said about war?

President George: No, I don't think I do, sir, no.

VP Dick: He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 50 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Terrorist infiltration, Terrorist indoctrination, Terrorist subversion and the international Terrorist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

two groups

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those that like to divide the world into two kinds of people, and those who do not. I am definitely the second kind. Spliting people into two groups - Democrats and Republicans, rich and poor, elitists and regular folk, etc. - is pointless because it assumes everyone in each group is the same, and we're not. The only thing we all have in common is that each and every one of us is different.
