Just babbling, some Dems are part of the problem agreed, but many are not, and the same can be said of some Repubs, but their is no balance, so a matter of fact the Repubs are currenlty the whole problem.
I liked it better when we had the split government under Clinton, with both side arquing over how we could balance the budget and stay out of conflicts that could unecessarily obligate ourselves into situations that we could not extract ourselves from.
Face it Iraq is a failure and is only going to get worse. No balance...and don't give me that crap about terrorism, we should have dealt fully with Osama in Afganistan and kept Sadam in the box he was previously in, at least until a reasonable solution to Iran could have been figured out. Now we have Iraq as a mess and Iran feeling healthy enough to causie a lot more trouble than Sadam, while our corrupt U.S. supported Fatah leaders in Palestine have been defeated by even more Islamic extremists. Beware of unintended consequences.
