The Future

Since the Democrats now control both houses, all talk of cooperation is, of course, moot. Nothing substantial will happen over the next two years unless President Bush caves in or the remaining Republicans cede all power to the Left. We will see. I have little hope for Iraq as it looks like Vietnam all over again. The U.S. was winning that war but Walter Cronkite managed to convince the American people it was a bad thing and so Nixon caved. It will likely happen here as well. The left never gets it, preferring to wallow in fantasy that those who live in the middle ages (terrorists) or those who are deluded (Iran, North Korea) are willing and viable partners for negotiations. I suspect we must prepare ourselves for the coming disasters.
