Perhaps not. But until a clear and honest realization of what conflict it is we have to resolve, solutions or partial solutions probably won't work at all, or last. In any event, the issue is both difficult and complex.

But there will be NO easy resolution, nor any "pretty" victory, if victory is even an applicable term. The official rhetoric from Washington in the past 8 months has generally made me sick, in that the message I get is that the Ostriches are still running amok, although now and again someone makes some sense.
