are in that tricky position where we think we can see success around the corner (al queda is demonstrably weakened).

HD, I don't think it would do either one of us any good to see an optometrist. I can see the keyboard and print on the monitor just fine and assume you have the same ability. There wouldn't be much for an optometrist to work with on our vision.
Where we seem to have different abilities is in how we interpret what we read. I gave a specific example in my post that you quoted above and was talking about some measure of success in our original goal which was to capture/kill Osama and weaken or destroy al queda.
Your post (which includes the above quote from me) speaks about the type of governments you see the nations I mentioned and Egypt forming.
Your observation that 4 middle eastern countries are forming theocratic governments is obviously cause for concern BUT that isn't what I was talking about and, more importantly, isn't something I wrote about. You're obviously free to expand (or even hijack the topic) at your leisure but your post makes assumptions about my post that aren't correct and weren't in my post.
