Too Late for What?


The online version of this week’s Time magazine is up on their Web site. I find the cover title interesting: “Is it too late to win the war?” I haven’t read it yet. My copy will be here Tuesday, and I don’t want to spoil the surprise. But the question intrigues me. I thought we already won the war in Iraq, and we’re just spilling blood in an protracted occupation to install democracy. Yes, I think I remember it: statues of Saddam yanked down, his ass dragged from a “spider hole,” (never bought that one)the Republican Guard pummeled into a quivering tattered relic, then the looting and the promises of a better Iraq through the miracle of no bid contracts.

So what is Time yammering on about? I can’t wait for Tuesday!
