History has a tendency of repeating itself. It seems only the music
changes.
Whichever country we're in when it comes to the middle east, it
doesn't seem to matter. If you're there, you're in a mess. So, you
have to decide. You either get dirty or you bury your head in the sand
and pretend nothing is going on.

I see big differences in many areas, but I was referring to the
policies toward the ending of the war in Iraq and the growing
conflict in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I realize its been only a week
plus, but Obama hasn't said anything about changing the Status of
Forces agreement that Bush negotiated with Iraq to have all troops
out of combat in a year, and out of the country in 2011. Fairly
close to Obama's position. As for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Obama
has said that is the primary battleground in the war on terrorism.
In fact, I worry that he would redeploy all those soldiers from Iraq
to Afghanistan, as he said he would do, as that would be a real
quagmire; just ask the British and Russians.

Now that he is president, he seems to see the wisdom in the Bush
approach.
If you can't see the difference that is another life skill you need
to work on.
