Oh shucks, that means Iran could win again. If the US, particularly with Bush in the White House bungles and do too much collateral damage in Pakistan, then that could mean Iran is the only real power in the Muslim Middle East.

Well Bruce, That'll prolly make tw happy.

Don't be silly, NOTHING makes tw happy.

That would make any decent and real Americans happy. Those with contempt for America even refused to ask a simple question: "When do you go after bin Laden?"

In 349 days, America will have leaders with balls to ask that question. Wacko extremists, so dumb as to all but protect bin Laden, will be circumcised. Then America will begin the long arduous task of recovering cordial relations with most every nation in the world. Of course, 30% who show no intelligence as to support George Jr will disagree. Dittoheads especially believe what they are told to.

From The Economist of 2 Feb 2008:

Hmm, I think America will have a leader without ANY balls at all.

Iran winning? I would like to think of it as we handed it to them (or Osama did).

Maybe that next president will use somebody else's balls for that pendulum rack found on one's desk.

It's still a long way from tw saying "I am happy." As for the rest of his, uh, analysis, it's still the thalidomide case trying to play the bagpipes.
