And yes, we conservatives do recognize that. I think the disagreement is on <i>when</i> the strategy needs to be changed; I think it hasn't had time to succeed yet, and I believe you probably feel it never had a shot. But you make a good point about changing strategy, and I agree on the principle - just not this particular case. Thanks for coming by the other day, BTW, and offering your thoughts. I'm starting to think I have the best liberal commentors in the right-side blogosphere. Take care. For the first ten minutes or so, my pained reaction was, “Where did we get these two guys?”

What’s with this idea that being unwavering in your commitment means you don’t ever change your mind? Isn’t changing your mind in response to a changing situation what our military, sports, and business strategies are all inherently based on?
