"Live today, not yesterday.

As far as the thing about what nations get to have contracts to rebuild Iraq: If a nation goes to war, and another nation's government chooses to yell to the world that they're wrong, that's fine. They have their own sovereignty and right to say that. But they probably shouldn't expect to profit as a result of the war, after the war is over. And they may find that they can't buy their way in when it's over, either."

Which is true? That we forget about yesterday and focus on what's best for the future? Or that we hold grudges over who did what?

If we're wiping the slate clean about why we went to war, why doesn't this apply across the board? Or, alternately, if we're remembering which countries wanted in and which didn't, why aren't we remembering their reasons?

"Oh, and one more. The Supreme Court got one right. To paraphrase: 'Soft money is a corrupting influence on politics'. Well, DUH! Took'em long enough."

Yeah, but money talks, and therefore is covered by free speech. ;)
