A Couple of Thoughts for the Day

Comparing Iraq and America:

Iraqis: 43% say Iraq is going well while 17% of Americans say USA on right track.

[Holy Coast] Perhaps Americans could afford to complain just a little bit less.

RALPH PETERS: " If current trend-lines continue, it may not be long before Baghdad is safer for Iraqi citizens than the Washington-Baltimore metroplex is for US citizens. Iraq's government is working, its economy is booming - and its military has driven the concentrations of terrorists and militia from every one of Iraq's major cities. And our troops are coming home. Where's the failure?"

[Holy Coast] Meanwhile, Democrats (and some Republicans) continue to scream that Iraq is a disaster and we must abandon the effort. I suggest that if we pull troops out of Iraq we send them to Baltimore.
