I think the apocolypse is coming. I read today, in a column that I was unable to verify, that certain elements of the eladership of the new Iraqi government are reaching out to Israel. All it took was Democracy, and suddenly they seemed to realzie that their interests lie with other free democracies, not with the virtual theocracies or dictators that run most other Arab and/or Muslim countries. This alone makes the Iraqi war worth the price of admission. Solve the Israel/Palestine conflict by making the Palestinians aware that they actually have to commit to peace and democracy, and much of the world's problems go away. And George Bush rightfully hero in history texts for doing what was right, despite the opposition.
