What worries me is that McCain *does* have military experience, so I'd trust his time-line more than, say, that of Little AWOL Bush.

I just don't think this thing was thought out, we didn't have good reasons to go in, we don't have clear objectives now, and we aren't all agreed on what constitutes a "win" in the middle east.

And nobody in this country has a single clue about the mindset of people with centuries-long memory of hostility between their various families, clans, towns, etc. Theyr'e fighting battles now with bombs & guns that their great-great-great-greats started by throwing rocks at another guy's goats. We just don't have that kind of historical memory here in the states, at all. Nor do most of us have the hard-line religious morality that would allow us to stone someone to death for their ancestor throwing rocks at our ancestor's goat 300 years ago.

In short: they're crazy and hold mega grudges, and we're just stupid.
