 <description>This was a very insightful article; however I think we still were right in going into Iraq given the circumstances. Also I think it should be noted whether  it is Al Qaida, the Taliban, or insurgents in Iraq (mostly funded by Iran which in my view is as evil as Nazi Germany ever was), all these groups are agree on one thing the conversion of the world to Islam by the edge of the sword. Turn tale and running as Pelosi would have us do will not solve this. This said Cheney really could use some lessons in diplomacy and I still question to this day what Bush was thinking when he nominated this man for VP.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Carl Strohmeyer</description>
