All I know...

... is that Rumsfeld is no more. That alone is enough to make me a happy Dan. I'm going to go out on quite a thin and long branch here and say that when eight retired generals are calling for your resignation in an army that has traditionally supported each other no matter what and not questioned leading officials, that you've probably done a poor job.

As far as the elections go... I don't know. I'm happy that the Democrats took control of the House, maybe even the Senate, but that alone will not right the ship. Now is the time to set aside partisanship and really try and work out this Iraq debacle and figure out the best resolution, Rumsfeld's ousting being the first key step. Unfortunately, this leave few to no good choices. With Saddam gone, leaving before a stable government is in place will leave an Iran that's itching to take control when we leave. As bad as Saddam was, is it possible that a strengthened Iran could be worse? I hope not. I don't know... I still don't know what could possibly be done that will help us in this situation and to think that the elections of Democrats to power will solve the situation is assanine. After all as Steven Colbert would say, "It's only been a day since they've been in power and already we're stuck in this unwinnable war!" I pray that a good solution would be found and that sanity would be restored. Maybe we should just take Rachel's advice and become a neo-mercantilistic country.

I don't know if any of that made any sense whatsoever...
