We had zero before, now we have a huge deficit, which will be
around for as far as anyone can reasonable project. This is not
good news.

Zero deficit, or even worse, surplus? You talk, er, write like
that's a good thing. It's not. It just encourges the politicians to
spend lots of money on their pet projects. Even Bush does it. His
biggest pet project just happens to be reforming Iraq and
Afganistan, and killing terrorists.

Excellent news!!! Which terrorist has he managed to kill?



It's an expensive hobby,

It certainly is very expensive! Especially when he spends billions of
dollars fighting the wrong targets.

but I
think in the long run it's worth the cost.

That is why he can kill thousands of innocent civilians, and simultaneously,
create thousands of new terrorists.

What's not worth the
cost, is a non-means-tested Medicare prescription drug benefit. It
will be just an ever-growing money pit that we'll regret very soon.
But, thirty years from now, I don't think any sane person will
regret invading Iraq in 2003. Especially not the Iraqis.

You may well be right. It *is* possible that, in 30 years, you will still
not be able to make the connection between American violence, and terrorist
violence.
