#2 Just because "Now is a good time for clear thinking and speaking" doesn't mean we're going to get any more of it than we've had since about 1993. The USA will have to get by with the electorate and leadership class than it has (shudder). The Seventy Years War (between 1919 and 1989) took many turns. By the 1990's the Soviet Union was no more, Red China was regretting its Cultural Revolution, and more recently the descendants of Ho Chi Minh are divesting themselves of government-owned businesses and hoping the US will lease its former Cam Ranh base from them. Iraq is but one battle in what will be a very very long war. Remember the current war is already the 2nd attempt of the USA to clear up the mess Saddam started. Noam Chomsky, the current intellectual traitor class, and John F Kerry, and suchlike pols, won't live forever. The veterans of Iraq will have been changed by their experience, and will have an increasing influence on the electorate as years go by.

#3 PACIFIC DAILY NEWS Commentary [paraphrased]> The Commies have finally learned they can't have either Utopia or Wealth or Global influence without the Private Sector = Capitalism/Free Markets; and that fighting change, i.e. saving the status quo for the sake of the status quo, is self-destructive and does nothing to solve the problems of human-based societies.
