The war is over and we have to move on. I was opposed to it and admit that I thought it would be long drawn out affair. It was quick but not painless. Nation-building in Iraq however might be a different story. Let's see how it plays out. One positive sign is the roadmap for peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis. I believe that this could be it. I hope the US will coax both sides and prod them towards a settlement. The Palestinians have to accept the reality of Israel just as the Eygptians and Jordanians have done. And, the Israelis have to accept that injustice was done at the birth of their nation by taking away the land from the owners at that time and hoping that they would meekly disappear.     6:23:33 PM
